I'm pretty happy with what I have ATM but if I were to add anymore I'd like to try out the 35L/30mm Sig, the 180L, and any TS for a goof.

Maybe my attitude is a bit cavalier when it comes to matters of money, but as far as I'm concerned I can always make more of it. That said, I do limit myself to one lens at a time and then only through Bill Me Later or more recently my Newegg account. Paying over time and zero interest is a wonderful thing.

I would keep the 3 lenses I have and add the Tokina 11-16 and the Sigma 150-500.

For what I want to shoot, that would be the best I could do for the way I shoot.


Gear list: S5IS, 40D, Canon 17-55 f2.8 IS, Canon 70-200 f4 L IS, Sigma 150-500mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM, Canon 50mm f1.8 mk1, Canon 85mm f1.8, Sigma 30mm f1.4 EX DC HSM, 430EXII, Kenko 1.4x TC, tripod

Well, since that's what I currently have I guess it's an easy answer:
Tamron 17-50
Canon 50mm 1.4
Canon 135L f2
Canon 200L f2.8

I need something to fill in between the 50 and the 135 - I currently have the 100f2, but now that I have the 135 want to swap it out for something else in that 50-100 focal range. Still thinking about that....

17-40 f/4L
24-70 f/2.8L or 24-105 f/4 L IS
70-200 f/2.8L IS
100-400 f/4.5-5.6L IS

This set covers a wide focal length range and all use 77mm filters. :)

nikon 14-24/2.8 adapted
24-70L
70-200 F/4L IS
85L
Tamron 180mm macro

Not sold on the idea of the 100L macro. it's nice...but I dont think it is 1000 dollars better. A 180mm macro L IS lens would be an instant buy.
