i'd just like to say the s90/95 is pretty amazing given the size. flame suit on but i think it competes nicely with the pen and @nex. so long as you can deal with the one lens. sure, i have a way higher end dslr but everything stuffed in the lowpro backpack weighs like 30 pounds! so for less than half a pound i think it is the only game in town. if you don't trust me, go see what ken rockwell has to say about it. i have lenses that are twenty times the size of the s90 lol. i think it is the ultimate thing for candid shots which is what i use it for. of course, it is not the ultimate camera if size is not a consideration.

To L or not to L has been in my mind ever so long... kept forcing myself to ignore them ie just focusing on my current sigma f1.4 BUT still cant resist the temptations..

50 1.2L is an interesting lens to buy as your first L.  If you have any other 50mm lenses (50 f1.8, f1.4, etc), I would love to see some side by side comparisons with the 50 1.2L!

Sigma 50 f1.4 is a nice lens.  I once compared the Sigma 50 f.1.4 to Canon 50 f1.4 and 50 f1.8, and honestly, for shooting real subjects and not test charts, all are great.  The only thing is the difference in bokeh character, but that can be somewhat of a personal preference thing, with some people actually liking some funky bokeh.  
 
The problem with the whole "L" mystique IMO is just that, mystique.  Canon's marketing and folklore has assigned some mystical qualities to all the L glass, but some of them are much better than other L.  Attaching L glass doesn't suddenly turn your photos into magic, that's for sure.  
 
Having said that, I love primes and ended up with some L primes anyway, as it's hard to beat their build quality.

I love my EOS 10D with a 28-135mm IS USM lens.

 It's about 10 years old, but I can't see myself replacing it anytime soon.

I picked this up at B&N, I find it a lot easier to deal with than the supplied user manual.
 
 
 
I haven't been able to spend as much time with the new T3i as I'd hoped. I herniated a disk, between L4/L5, spent a few days in the hospital and am now at home convalescing for who-knows-how-long. I can walk and sit again but must spent large parts of the day on my back. Getting old sucks.

Thinking of buying a 35L for my crop body.
A good idea? Heard it's the "worst" of the L Primes :frowning2:

I've never read 35L referred to as "worst" of L primes.  In fact, 35L is one of the Canon "Holy Trinity," 35L, 85L, and 135L.  
For crop body, 35L is in fact the most useful length, being 56mm equivalent, and is my "walkaround lens."  
 
A walkaround shot from yesterday.
