Pretty ok list, (we had these kind of lists before)
I'ld replace the 50/1.8 with the 50/2 (money no object), it doubles as
a macro and is only a tad slower.
Do you have some samples of the hot-spotting of the 28/2. I didn't
encounter it on the 5D, but could test it... Focussing on the EG-s
screen is rather ok.
