I still think it is a good idea to have a wunderbrick for certain occasions,
like when you really need AF, and especially, when you need fill flash. Instead
of the F5, you could grab a used N90s with an SB2x flash (they're pretty cheap
right now with so many trading up the the F100).

Be great to have the above with a lower-end zoom at one of your weddings, and
then do the bridal portraits with studio flash and a 90 macro...
