The distance from a canon lens to sensor is 44mm and Nikon 46.5mm, so a Canon lens mounted on a Nikon camera simply can't get close enough to the sensor to focus properly so I stand to be corrected and I am using figures from a previous posting but these two brands have never made their lenses fully compatible and for Nikon to do so now would mean giving up on lens sales which I very much doubt... again I could be wrong so would like to see some figures to the contrary

Sorry the weight difference between the 7D and 5D mk iii is 4oz, if you carry glass it weighs much more so this is not a decision maker.

OK, if you are happy with what you are shooting with the 40D composition wise then the 7D would be a great upgrade and has a much faster frame rate.
The main advantage to you with a full frame is the overall image quality, I have a 5d mk iii and a 7D. The crop factor in genaral is just that, it crops the picture in the view finder so what you see is what you get (7D is a 100% view finder).Your money is in the glass and you have some nice lenses for both the 7D or 5D so it's down to budget and you can get some great deals on the 5D mkii now which is a great body.
In any case you won't be spoiled by looking through a full frame view finder so go to a local shop or ask a friend and twist on a lens to see how it feels... if it feels good and it's in budget then you have an answer, as long as your happy it's the right one.

Just though I would say hi, working in Shanghai for the last 7 years... mainly commercial and sports but a few odds and ends from event through fashion.
Seems like sitting in a nice chilled room with a warm fire and single malt.... looking forward to the conversation.

Was always a buy new man... I have the first gen and it's an awesome lens.
Recently I needed to shoot a sports event that really needed 300mm and hooked into a used 300mm 2.8L (no IS) it's amazing, in pristine condition (I reckon it was bought, found to be to heavy and left in a loft), I checked the date code (www.digitalpicture.com) as someone else suggested and the lens was made in 1988... great price great glass and great shots, the risk of course is it breaks, the job more than paid for the lens so as was mentioned you pay your money and take your chance.
The 70-200mm 1st gen is built to last if it's been looked after then it's worth a punt.

the mirror would hit the back of the lens... if you could get it mounted.
