Raymond, is the AF significantly better on the 5D MKIII with the 85?

Haven't noticed any difference tbh.
I've just bought my first DSLR - Nikon d5100 - but after seeing Auraomega's phallic addition i'm feeling slightly self conscious 
Oh, and a SanDisk Secure Digital High Capacity Card Extreme Video HD 16GB Class 10
Understanding Exposure, 3rd Edition: How to Shoot Great Photographs with Any Camera
Lowepro Toploader Zoom 50AW (although if this doesn't arrive in time i may get the Case Logic Compact Nylon Bag with EVA Protection for SLR Camera)
On my Xmas wishlist:
35mm lens
tri-pod
and perhaps a bigger lens - but i might give myslef some time to see how i predominantly use the camera.

Just bought a nikon d7000 and 35mm f1.8.
iPhone shot of new toy:
That is white vinyl. I also have a roll of chroma green paper and another of black velvet.
The expensive bit is round the edge of the picture - a new house big enough to live with it
Now to learn how to use it...
Question for people with experience: How do you stop it rolling off under it's own weight? I've used gaffer tape, but that's ugly...

I loved that bit.
Initially mine was for computers, then kids - now i see that if i enjoy this new hobby i may need another recepetion room/extension.
Wife won't be impressed...
/looks for people to blame on previous threads.

^ Nice beercan!
I've just been accruing some studio stuff to do portraits at home (and for small events)..
- It just fits in this small room, I thought I'd need more space, but actually the hilite works in quite confined areas.
2 x Elinchrom DLite-4
2 x lastolite Lumen8 F400
2 x 60 x 90 Softboxes
6 x 7 lastolite Hilite + Train
Various brolleys (inc shoot throughs)
Sekonic L308S Flash Meter
Everything but the Hilite is secondhand, £100 per strobe roughly..
I have to say, it's a lot easier to set up and gives very reliable lighting, it's almost too easy...
