I just want a new lens, for what I shoot, the bells and whistles not needed...

I'm with you on this one Gail.

I would love to step-up the lenses for my bread n' butter focal lengths, 35 and 50, add the 100/2 and 135/2. I'm considering swapping out the 70-200/4 L for a 200/2.8 L. Furthermore, I've been recently needing a litte more focal length then my current max, thus churning the wheels in head my about either getting a 1.4TC or going old school and getting the ancient Sigma 400/5.6 APO AF (research leads me to believe it will fully operate on my 1Ds).

And bodies, thats another story...

Yeah, I've got all these options I want to do, but two things keep nagging me about upgrades and add-ons: One, is obviously the cost but the second reason keeps me grounded. That being I do not make a living taking pictures, I take pictures because I enjoy it. I do not even consider myself a "photographer", just a dude who takes and prints pictures.

So I find it hard to justify upgrades just becuase I want them, but I still want them.

The 100/2 is a definite, I had one before and loved it. The 135/2 is most likely a must for me, but it'll take some time getting. All of the other 'wants', well, I can't justify.

What I keep telling myself is that I'm lucky enough to have the kit that i do and I should be happy with it and use it to it to the best of my so-called abilities.

But crap, I still want all of the nice shiney sparklies...

Toys would be nice, Jason. I agree, but like you, I just do photography because I couldn't be arsed with collecting stamps

Wife always asks if I am ever going to make a return on my expenditure. I always say "not unless you know a rich blind man".

I am happy with what I have though, a 40D, kit lens, 70-200 f/2.8IS and the recently acquired 24II L. I don't think I need anything more than those at all.

wow, i killed this thread too!

slackers!
