Don't get me wrong guys, I have a living to make here. My studio is probably one of the few using KM gear and with wedding photo's, you miss one shot, you miss the wedding. I found with the move to the 7D's that the old lens's were compatable to a point, but lacked accurate exposure indoors with no flash (which we gotta do) and focus searches too much. So needed the new D lens's. These were since removed from the market from January-February at the same time I invested in 7D's for my studio. Press release says Sony eq. SSM 70-200 f2.8 is out in September ... More frustrating is that I live 20km from the factory in China which makes them but Sony won't relase .. just 1.

You are right, it is only lack of service from Sony during their transition. Hope for future users it is not the norm. KM to me was the groundbreaker. My old 800si on Velvia with a good scanner has given us a 100% digital eq. hit rate which so far the 7D has not matched. Due to lack of lens's we are using the "old trusted si's" today ... and the 7D's are on the shelf. Frustrated thats all, sorry to bother you all, but somehow I want to get the message to Sony.
