I hate Canon for their wide angle lineup... The QA varies quite a bit between copies of the same model. I've experienced a big fight struggling to pursue myself switching to manual prime as well. Once you look at the quality of the photos, auto focus is not a big issue for wide angle lens.
I like all these picture.
I will be wonderful if the house owners will consider a theme to decorate their lighting next year. It seems many of them added everything that create light in their front yards, just like yard sale....I took these for my neighbor over the weekend. I like their simple setup.
I feel quite amazed this year as it seems more people are willing to decorate for Christmas. Maybe, we should thank to the invention of LEDs which consume way less energy than the traditional light bulbs...
The reason is, I'm using a 1D3 instead of a 5D2...
I would rather having 1 cam, ...

lo-pak, your combo doesn't make sense.
I would love to have a 1D series camera for the auto-focus. If you are using manual lens, you can't use the power of 1D the auto focus.
It depends on what type of photography you are shooting...
It doesn't make sense ONLY when you are not in the field...
Previously I've got a 16-35mm F2.8 II in my bag. I don't even use it for quite a while because the quality is pissing people off (providing that price tag). You don't rely so much on auto focus for wide angle shots on landscape.
Most of the time I'm shooting wild life (birds and animals). I won't use a 5D2 for that purpose...
1D3 is not bad for shooting landscape in comparison to utilizing a 5D2 to shoot moving targets (especially when you are in the wilderness...). That's why I say 1 cam for all...
If I've got enough funding I would love to upgrade my gear to a 1Ds3 if possible.
