You're switching to FF again? What made you decide to give FF another try? And which FF?

Let me know if you decide to get rid of your 15-85 in this move. I may be interested pending availability of funds.

Fuzz- I got a used 5D... again. I'm selling off the 50-150mm to get a Canon 70-200mm that I can use on the 5D and my 40D. I'm also going to pick up a 24mm wide angle zoom, just not sure which one (I can't justify the Canon 24-70 right now).

DC- I'm actually keeping my 40D and 15-85mm setup for skiing and some other things. It's too good of a combination to sell off just yet.

So what made you reconsider, since you didn't like the 5D the first time around?

I think I had different expectations the first time- I was expecting the 5D to be my only camera, to solve for all my shooting needs. This time, I'm only going to use it for portrait and landscape work, with the 40D as a backup (and for skiing). The more and more I see shots like yours with a cleaner, unique look and a more interesting DOF, the more I want to go FF. I got a killer deal on a mint 5D, so it was tough to turn down.

Honestly, I'd go with the 5D2, but until I'm comfortable with FF I'm not going to carry around a $2500 setup in my pack when I ski or hike. That kind of freaks me out a little bit.
