Poon was in China over the weekend, and he told me that he was shooting on a 5D using a Contax 85 f/1.4.

That sounds like a very nice combo.

I would argue that the D200 with 17-35 2.8 combo is the best you will ever see in camera/lens gear and I don't say that because it is what I use! I am sure it was Alan Brent uses!
