Hi all,

I just got this fantastic camera a few days back. Had GGS fixed on it and bought a Lexar 32gb 1000x CF card.

Will be getting a Billingham to house this baby this weekend.

Extra battery, battery grip, speedlite

Either Hadley Pro or Hadley Large. Still not decided on whether it should be Khaki or Black though.

Does the pancake works well with the 5D3?

Where did you buy the Lexar UDMA 7 card and how much did you pay?
 

Does the pancake works well with the 5D3?

It works very well. It's a very popular lens.

High IQ, good bokeh and a focal length that good enough to be a general lens.

To be honest, i think u got it wrong. Cos I have a Hadley Pro for some time and i felt so bad for it cos i didn't have any camera to put in it and so i got the 5diii to fill the void in the bag so that my poor billy could serve its purpose as a camera bag... the camera is actually the accessory for my bag....:D

Hmmm.... I've got 3 empty bags...
 

Get the right lenses to pair with this awesome camera lor.


Canon 16-35mm f/2.8L II
Canon 24-70 f/2.8L II
Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS
Canon 50mm f/1.2L
Canon 85mm f/1.2L
Canon 300mm f/2.8L

Alternatives to consider

Sigma 35mm f/1.4
Sigma 50mm f/1.4
Sigma 85mm f/1.4
Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 VC

So many to choose!

I'd skip the battery grip though. I'm not a battery grip kind of guy and I think it is overpriced.
