My favorite meal

@Eggcelsior - he said many of his photographer friends like the 5Ds because they're proven durable.  These guys abuse their gear.  I found a used 5D with an extremely low frame count (virtually new) for around $1300, which was less than I could get a 6D for.  That gives me more money for lenses.  I already have a few lenses because my old camera is a 10D.

I though it would be that. I have only bought EF lenses to future-proof myself when I moved from crop sensor to full frame.

I have way more money invested in lenses and accessories than I do the body.  Several times over.  No junk.  But my 16-35 ii 2.8 is used overwhelmingly.

Wide angle is my next stop on that insane train. Can't decide between yours or the Zeiss 21mm.

@eggcelsior - that's an incredibly sharp lens, but heavy and a slow focus compared to the canon.  I've been a prime lens snob for years, that's the first zoom I've had since my film days, but I have to say I love it and no regrets.   The canon 24mm f1.4 is an interesting lens if you like bokeh.

Everyone like bokeh. That's why I'm considering ze Zeiss wit ze 9 blades. Weight doesn't bother me. Feels old school.

Yes it does.

For myself, wings are my favorite go to meal.  Just recently got my kids into them as well, not so my wife.  I forget who recommended Frank's REDHOT Chile n Lime, but I now have 5 bottles and love the stuff as a finish at the end of the cook.  I cooked mostly raised, direct, but will try out indirect again.  I like my wings fall off the bone with crispy skin. 

Can't afford to get into photography like you, but love my new Canon G16.  Had a G11 and G3 before that.

Use to race, take apart and build slot cars when I was growing up..

Outstanding looking wings, Grif! Prayers going your way for the health stuff. I know how tough that can be. But you can kick it's butt again.
