My 50mm 2.8 Macro is one of the sharpest lenses I own. The 100mm is supposed to be even better.

350 grain wet tip express (braided core) from SA is puurfect. The SA Streamer express (mono core) is very nice line to but IMO not tough enough for Striper fishing in rivers.
6wt Xi2 would be a sweet smallie rod. The TFO Axiom would be another nice one. I use a multi tip line for my smallie rod but I keep a 250 grain sink tip for when the bite is mostly deep.
Zach do me a favor at the show and check out the Mangrove waterproof gear bag. Should be in booth 349. I’d like to know if its worthy of a camera boat bag.
Admittedly I’m a rookie at all this but I’ve spent a lot of time digging through reviews, example galleries, and compares, where High ISO is concerned.
The cost of switching systems has kept me on the Sony side of the fence, for now at least. I’m with John in that I doubt many Canon or Nikon Pros will switch over. I think if anything this camera will draw some prosumer users into that pro body that they’ve always wanted but couldn’t afford.
While the lower camera price is nice the lenses are not cheaper and since Sony controls the price they aren’t coming down anytime soon. I’m dying to get the SSM 70-200 2.8 but at $1800 and that’s without any kind of IS I’m just going to have to save up. The Zeiss lenses aren’t much better in that regard either.

The best can be found here.
Thanks for the replies.
John that is exactly the kind of information I was looking for. I spent a lot of time studying the old Minolta glass and finding the best of the best, on a budget of course. I’ll run these lenses and see what turns up and how much. Is there an independent website dedicated to just canon equipment? Minolta and Sony users go here http://www.dyxum.com . There’s a wealth of knowledge as well as camera and lens reviews with user samples.
Its gear driven. The 400mm 4.5 G is about $2500 to $3500 used. That’s just way outa my price range right now. My thoughts are to get the fastest longest lens I can afford. 200mm lenses aren’t that bad but once you go over that you better have good credit or a trust fund.
