<p>Dave, I hope the lens/body communication issue gets solved. Heck of a way to start out, eh?</p>

<p>Anyhow, this Lexar is a great card and price. I have it and two 1000x KomputerBay 64 gb cards as well. These are supposedly cards that didn't pass Lexar's QC....but feedback from card owners say they work well. Both mine have. Here's the 1066x version:</p>

<p>As well, Samsung now makes some fast SD cards, and inexpensive. As others stated, CF cards are faster in the 5D MkIII than SD cards. </p>

<p>I no longer shoot film, sorry, guys. I placed ads in the classified.</p>

<p>I have 9 prepaid Fujichrome mailers and a Canon A2E with winder/grip..... might be some other stuff as well.....</p>

<p>I think Dwayne's in Kansas will accept the old mailers. I emailed them and will know soon.</p>

<p>Anyhow, if so, I have nine FujiChrome Prepaid mailers 36 exposures each but went digital 11 years ago. If anyone wants them, make me an offer......Adorama and B&H sell the current ones for $10.59.</p>

<p>Sorry to hear about the blank firing....It din't get a vasectomy when you weren't looking, did it....?</p>

<p>Uhoh....sorry, lol</p>

<p>Here's what I'm gonna do. I don't shoot professionally as I used to, part time (snow skiing, mostly.) So I have a 1D Mk ll, which is outdated but great. One desire is a smaller camera (Which could be made bigger with the vertical grip of course), and to have the latest, greatest thing (well, short of the 1D Mk4, lol). I love wide angle...and everything else that full frame huge sensor that the 5D 2 brings to the table. But the 7D is great for extended telephoto range due to the 1.6 crop factor.... and high speed shooting-better sports, wildlife in motion.</p>

<p>So, since money is not an issue, I'm gonna buy one of each, dammit.....</p>

<p>By the way, with ebay bucks, using MSFT Bing to search, and myrebates.com, and a discount ebay seller, I can get the new 5D for dang close to $2k! full USA warranty too boot...woot woot</p>
