After the Malin Awards I decided to broaden my imaging and do some more DSLR imaging.

My question is I would like a top notch DSLR and I am wondering if a Hutech style modded camera is really able to be used also for terrestial.

I have a 20D with the clear mod. I also have the Xnite CC1 filter for it and have taken both infrared and colour images with it. I suppose I should review the colour ones to see if they need additional processing or if they are a bit off.

So what is the consensus on which DSLR is the finest around.

Is it the Canon 5D Mark 11 or the Nikon D3 or its variants?

Or the Canon 1Ds Mark 1V?

Also which lens is the best.

I already have an older EOS 24-105 which was great on a 35mm film EOS 7 and I have a 24-135 newer Canon lens with image stabilisation.

I also have some older Canon lenses more suited to CCD cameras.

Or is it best I get adapters for my Proline 16803 and Canon lenses or the Pentax 6x7 lenses that are so good yet quite inexpensive.

Or what about the Nikon 14-24 lens or the Canon 24mm F1.4? Or others?

Greg.
