RE: [Digital BW] Ordered a 5D today

Congratulations on your order.  I, too, printed the B&W at the magnification
that would be required for a 16 x 20 -- quite nice indeed.

Some think the 16 - 35 is the better lens. See the Canon comments and MTF
curves at

Wide angle is clearly the weak end.  I stayed with the 24 2.8 prime with the
Rebel.  Not only does it have the best MTF, but I also thought, and think
more likely now, that I'll end up with full frame.
