<p>I have a Canon 50D and after several rentals, have decided that the Zeiss 35mm f1.4 is the lens for me. I know I know.. I got expensive taste.. But the lens rocks!<br>

The only issue I'm having with it and trying to resolve is focus. I have great eye sight but if I don't use the focus indicator, my focus can be off. I've upgraded the view-screen and that helped just a tiny bit. A colleague told me that modern cameras don't like manual-focus lenses and it's something I have to live with.<br>

Any other tweaks you folks could recommend? </p>

<p>I agree with most of the responses here. You're getting a good enough camera. It's all about the lens. If you're truly confused what to buy, rent them at the many available companies throughout the country. I probably spent about $150 on rentals before I decided what I really wanted. Totally okay before dropping $1000 on a great lens. You'll now what you like. I'd rent them for a week and use them A LOT to really get a feel.<br>

You really can't go wrong with the 'L' series as long as you get the range you need. I've used the 35mm f1.4L and 24-105mm f4L and think they are fantastic. The 70-200mm 2.8L is on my short list too :-D</p>
