Hey guys,

I am changing my life priorities and will need cash! :D I'm currently running with the 24L, 35L, 50L, 85L, 135L, and the 24-70L.

I'm thinking of selling the 24-70L, 35L and 85L and keeping the 24L, 50L, and 135L. thoughts?

Sure. You should look at which of those lens you use most and go with it. That's your best bet at knowing what lens to get rid of.

I am not a fan of 50mm primes so I would sell the 50L and keep either 35L or 85L.
or sell 50L and 35L and replace it with Samyang 35 f1.4 and switch between your 5D and 7D to get the desired focal length.
or just sell one of your bodies because lenses usually hold their values much better than bodies.
It's too bad that you have to sell your nice collection of lenses. I am also trying to decide what I want/have to do with my life in the near future but I really hope I won't have to sell any of my current L lenses.

If I were you, I wouldn't give up the holy trinity. It's an eternal life lens! :D

If you mean the 35L 85L and 135L then I agree :D

Sell all your Canon stuff and use the X100. LOL
Are you going to sell you bodi(es) as well?
If you use both crop and FF, I think 24, 35, and 85mm works great.


Cheers! :D

On full frame ... I would keep only 24L and 85L ... 85L can cover 90% of my needs ..(only for sport I need a 300L)
