I also have a Manfrotto. Manfrotto is a cheaper pro tripod. Do yourself a serious favor and get a pro tripod. Basically, if you see it in Wal Mart, keep walking.

I either hit the wrong key, or my f-stops are really messed up. Yeah mines a 2.8, hit the wrong key. Now don't get confused between close ups and Macro, all macros are closeups but not all closeups...

I've heard nothing but good things about the 17-55. Nice choice. I just bought the 50mm 1.4 myself. Haven't had a chance to use it yet, but a 50mm 1.8 is a nice buy also at only $70.

I'll be ordering Monday I think. I've decided on the 50mm 1.4 for walk about and low light and a 17-40 f/4L for wide angle. With a full frame camera, I just can't pass up the 50mm 1.4. It's just too...
