70-200 F4 L, IS if you can afford it.

You'll be surprised how good a canon 50/1.8 on the FF 5D is. And no, i'm not joking at all. I can provide some samples tonight once i get home.

You can always get the 50/1.4 or a tamron 28-75.

i much prefer lower focal ranges and my budget in future will be bigger so i plan to get the 70-200 2.8 in future months.

i think im just going to break my savings and get the 24-70L so that i have a decent multi purpose lens to start with :P

I'd buy a 35L instead of the 24-70L. Trust me, this comes from someone who owns both. My 24-70L is only used by my second shooter :D

You'll be laughing at Nikon's products after using Canon. You won't have to correct the ugly orange skin tones and orange yellows :D
