I have 7D -
24-70 MK i
50 mm 1.4 sigma
70-200 f4 IS
580ii flash

Now I just got 70-200 f2.8 II and want to go to the way of primes and sell the 70-200 F4 IS.

What should be the next step?


Gear: 7D, Canon 70-200 f8 MK II, 70-200 f4 IS, 24-70 f2.8 and Sigmalux 50 f1.4 Flash: 580EXii

hmm....two little monkeys 4 year old and 2.5 year old and my wife . Trying to get into nature but can't find time. Additionally after reading this forum I have developed sort of a mental block - i.e. I can't get into nature because I have the widest lens I have is 24-70.

I know you said primes but why not look into a 10 -20/22 depending on the brand you buy.
