Not going to lie, I'm jealous.

I've been eying that camera for a while but keep praying Canon's hiding a Mark IV somewhere.

I've owned both, love them to death. What lenses do you own currently?
For an allround lens for the 5DII I'd get the 24-70 2.8 first, then I'd get the 85mm f/1.2L, doesn't get much better than that lens and lastly the 16-35 for the wider ends and the 70-200 2.8IS to fill the top up!

I got the kit so running with a 24-105mm f/4 and looking to go a little wide before going long...

Then get the 16-35, but don't forget the 85 1.2, I know you have that range covered in your current lens but the results you get with a good prime is untouchable, here's some samples I found quickly on flickr and google.

I finally had the chance to tinker with one when I was photographing St. Pete Grand Prix.

I need to get away, the video has me sold.
