Likely yes, but not until the first wave of earlier adopters report any bugs - and some discounts start to become available. Figure when the occasional sale price gets down to around $2-2.3K in March-May is when I'll bite. For most of what I do the crop frame bodies are adequate, but I'd really like to get a FF body to use with my 24L. It's the only really good night landscape/starscape lens I have and it just isn't that wide on a 1.6x body. I also suspect that FF will work better with the 65mm MPE and 135L lenses. My long teles though, will likely stay with the crop bodies.

This is about as long a lens as I'm likely to be using for the foreseeable future unless the L-lens fairy leaves an 800IS under my pillow...
