What piece of equipment do you no longer have that you miss the most?

As a body, I miss my Elan 7e, but overall I used to have a superb copy of an old 100-300 f5.6 L that I miss the most. I sold it to finance a 70-200 f2.8 L IS for my son's high school football, but always resented that lens because of what I gave up.

I eventually sold that, after my son's graduation, and bought another 100-300 f5.6 L, but it's just not the same. :confused:

Seriously though...I haven't sold any camera gear, so I guess it doesn't really apply to me....

My Sinar P2 with Schneider glass. I'm once again seriously thinking about going back to 4x5 B/W.

Possibly my MP-E65. I really enjoy macro and really got into it. That is a pretty specialized lens and you can get into stacking. I enjoyed the process of learning to use it, etc. Then I had noticed I had not touched it in about a year. I meant to but just did not get around to it. Some equipment upgrades kinda forced me to make some decisions. I still have my 100L macro and ring flash so I can still play with macro. We will see one day.

I kinda miss my Zenitar 16mm f/2.8 fisheye. I had it in Nikon mount and sold it and a lot of my Nikon stuff off a while back. I want to get another in Canon mount.
