Nice collection! Just have to rub in the Wings loss to my Stars last night...because it is so rare for us to win at the Joe. Nice to see a fellow hockey fan on here.

Yeah can't win them all, but they came close back in the 90's...

Hockey is Life!!!

My dream lens collection:

EF 35mm f/1.4L USM

I've pretty much got mine, I think. About the only thing I'd really like is one of the new TS-E, probably the 24 TS-E II.

Otherwise, I'm pretty content on glass. Studio lighting is my next endeavor.

I'm also close to the dual trinities . I want the 85LII but two things are holding me back. The 85 1.8 is extremely fast and the 85L II is extremely expensive.

I'm actually very happy with my current kit since switching to Nikon. It's currently 5 lenses, 3 zooms and one prime:

• nikkor 14-24mm 2.8
  
• nikkor 24-70mm 2.8
  
• nikkor 70-300 VR
  
• nikkor 50mm 1.4
  
• sigma 24mm 1.8
  

35L (got it)
85L
135L (got it)
200L 2.8 (soon enough)
16-35L mk2 (maybe soon)

16-35L II
85L II
135L

That's the realistic part (still don't have the 85mm...).
When I start dreaming, I sometimes add 300L 2.8 IS...

Darn! You said realistic

24-105L
17-40L (would like the 16-35L)
100mm macro (would like 100mm L macro)
70-200 f/2.8L IS
Sigma 150-500 (would like 500 f/4.0L)

thinking about 85mm f/1.8 (would like 85 f/1.2L)

oh gawd, have "L" fever

Realisticaly

Canon EF 50 1.4 (I'm looking to buy one)
Canon EFS 15-85IS (Next year?)
Canon 70-200 f2.8IS (Some day? , maybe the mkII will be out )
Canon 85 1.8
Sigma 30mm
