Simon, I am in the exact same position you are, and I did excatly what you're considering. I
added a second DReb (black this time and only US$620)... Until the innovation abates
somewhat and the prices come back down to earth (US$8000 for a camera body?!?!?!?) I
decided to invest in glass. I bought the ef-s 10-22 and I am very happy with it... at 22 on
a 1.6X DReb it is like shooting with a 35, admittedly not a low-light lens, but still very nice
for groups and overviews... I also got the 24-70 f2.8 and the 70-200 f2.8 IS... Got it
covered! I tried the hack and found it to be a mixed blessing (quite a bit of the custom
functions do not work) as one night the camera woud not recognize that it had a lens
attached - 00 message... I uninstalled the hack and it works normally again, thank God!
The only downside is that the DReb 300D does not do ETTL-2. The 350XT does and so
dos the 20D.... I heartily recommend good glass over paying top dollar for a body that will
be obsolete in less than 2 years...

Hello, this is my first question to the sea of photographers who frequent this board, and I
am a newbie to wedding photography, having done one for a friend and also having
videotaped one for another. I am wondering about the logistics of using two cameras, and
how thoase who shoot that way manage it. Do you simply sling them both around your
neck? Could get crazy with a bracket and flash!? Do you have them both in a bag you work
out of and just schlep the kit around with you? I won't have the luxury of an assistant, so
any and all suggestions are welcome. By the way, I'll be shooting with Rebels and 2.8 L
zooms, 24-70 and 70-200 IS, plus an EF-s 10-22. I have a Custom Brackets QRS-35-H
Any advice from two-fisted shooters?

Thank you so much everybody! I found myself wishing you'd all submit a photo of
yourselves in your battle regalia... T'would be an interesting assignment, n'est-ce pas?
Seriously, I'd love to see those images! On another note, what do you do with your home
base camera bag while you're working? Leave it under a table, back in the car, behind the
bar?!?!? Any issues with theft over the years?<div></div>
