Dec 14, 2012 10:32 | #7 Everyone's needs for a kit are different. Whenever upgrading the kit I try to ask what shots is my kit limiting me at getting, or what shots is my kit holding me back on IQ. Then go with whatever fills that gap. I've yet to meet anyone totally happy to leave their kit as it is, unless they just aren't shooting anymore. Mike

I've got a Canon 70-200 f2.8L MkII and regularly use a Canon 2x MkIII converter with it and get some fantastic shots.

You need to describe what all you shoot, and where you think you are a bit lacking. Each person's needs are different, so describe your needs, what you do well and where you feel you lack. What you just did is the same as if I said I had a 2003 Z06, 2010 Camaro SS, Honda Civic, a ZX-14, and a Dodge Caravan, then ask others what vehicle am I missing? Except the question of what was missing wasn't even asked. It was "How am I going?". Bizarre. I am serious....and don't call me Shirley.

JeffreyG "my bits and pieces are all hard"  More info | Dec 14, 2012 19:57 | #14 You are doing great for a person that has no need for wide angle whatsoever. You also lack some other details I might want like a good AF system, a faster burst rate, a bigger buffer etc. etc. My personal stuff:http://www.flickr.com/photos/jngirbach/sets/
