LOL...Max BUA...okay...1.3x is "close enough for me" and is willing to forgive it in the case of the 1D3, but I want to look at the 5D2 or 7D, prior to making the $1000 deficit leap. So it is pretty holy...

Spare battery-check and figured I'd need that, since I refuse to believe the 2200 shots Battery Life estimated by Canon.

Now, these Ducatti's, would the 1D3 take advantage of the speed? I have Sandisk Extreme III's 8 and 16 GB, wouldn't that suffice? BTW, I have a contact at Sandisk and can usually get great prices on the CF cards. The 16GB cost me $116 shipped.

E1 Strap - I have a spare

What's the Optech loop strap?

Yes, a focusing screen! The beauty of this and the 5D and the 40D, interchangeable FS...

What's an L plate? I have plenty of 2.8< glass, well 4...one being the 16-35mm f2.8 L.

Thanks Max.
