So
this is the combo you're suggesting? It's still a bit more than I was originally hoping, but I could always nab it with my tax refund. How about the issue mattdm had brought up regarding auto-focus? Is that only for certain older types of lenses, or for these er..
prime lenses?
Also, it seems like Canon is a very popular brand, I wouldn't be limiting myself by going the Nikon route would I? It does seem like they're the two primary options.
