Well as of tonight I have sold G6, 100-300mm & 50mm.
My 70-200mm is paid for with money left over. I think I will be
looking for the Tamron 28-75 next....Thanks everyone

50mm!?! Nooooooooooo! Oh, I think I would almost trade my 70-200L for my 50mm! Get another one soon, please! (or the 85 1.8?)

I agree. I rarely use my 50mm 1.8. Just not my type of photography. know the 70-200 L (never mind the speed) is a great lens. I probably should have started there. I'm looking forward to posts when yours comes in.

Man's gotta eat. Good choice. I wish my first non-kit lens had been the 70-200. But must stop going into threads with your chicken - I spend hours watching that darn chicken. He's kind of hypnotic :)

I'll take you up on that :D

Just kidding, congrats on getting the 70-200L ... I think that + a 1.4 TC will be my next purchase.

Congrats on the new lens!

I've found that since I prefer a zoom to a prime for most things, I would get the Tamron first, but you have to decide what you like best and what fits your shooting style!

One thing I like about the Tamron is its ability to focus closely, about 9"... makes filling the screen with flowers and smaller things much easier!

most important is shooting pics of the family!!
What would give me the most bang for the buck?

Wish I could go too......... sounds like a lot of fun. I'm itching to take my grandson but my son/daughter-in-law aren't ready for me to take him.:( Maybe I'll approach them again in a few months.
