Hi,
I'll be ugrading my 30D very soon. I've got the dilema of wether to go 5D or 1DMK11N.
I do quite a lot of sports work and my 30D copes fine (I rarely use the High drive setting). But I like the robustness of the 1D and its weather proofing.
One issue that bothers me though, is wide angle choices. With the 5D its not an issue as whatever you by 16-35 etc is what you shoot. Howevver with a 1DMK11N a 16-35 becomes a 21-45 and you lose the functionality at the 16-20 end and thats a huge loss on a wide angle. It renders it almost pointless buying one.
I already have two L F2.8 lenses (a 24-70 and a 70-200 )so these lenses will work well on both the 5D and 1DMK11N.
Will I need to spend a fortune on getting say a 14mm (which becomes an 18mm) on a 1DMK11N.
The EF-S series doesn't work on 1D, so buying a 10-20 is not an option.
What quality L lenses are available at sensible money (say around £1k) to give a sensible wide option and building in the 1.3 factor. I'd be looking for something around 17/18mm so we are looking at 14mm starting point.
The alternative is to go 5D route and the 16-35 solves the issue. But then you lose the robustness and weather proofing.
There just doesn't seem to be a perfect body out there at the mo.
