What should I buy?

Got about $450ish to spend, what's something cool?

A photography class...? 1/2 ounce of gold?

Either will continue to increase in value as the years go on.

Don't need the former. The latter doesn't fit on my camera.

what gear do you have?

Ignoring the cameras since that isn't enough to get a camera, have the following lenses, all Canon:

17-55mm f/2.8 IS
24-105L
70-200 f/2.8L IS
10-22mm EF-S
100mm Macro
50mm f/1.4
85mm f/1.8
135L

Also have Lee filter kid plus GND's, Lights, tripod, ballhead, flash...

Would love a TS-E but that won't happen for a while.

Lensbaby, the TSE on the cheap (really cheap)

sigma 30mm.

or nutella.

Couple steak and a bottle of wine, at a Ruth Chris Steak House or Mortons Steakhouse

How about a good Tripod? A set of Lee filters and holder?

I'm thinking of lensbaby...

Not sure on pricing, but is it possible to trade the 17-55mm plus cash for a tse?

Do you like music? Get yourself some nice Grado headphones and a Headphone amp/DAC

How about $450 worth of spam fritters.

I could, but that would be crazy. The 17-55mm is one of my primary wedding lenses.

I've got Sennheiser HD-580's.

I was looking at the lensbaby with sweet 35 optic.
