Well, as much as 28-300L and 50 f/1.4 cover all my needs, this damn urge to buy more is always there (especially, if perusing this POTN!).

Tomorrow picking up a 16-35 (Lord, are you reading this?). I guess smart folks learn on others' mistakes, people like me - on their own.

Also, getting a 135L shipped to me tomorrow as well. For some reason the Sigma 150mm (not that I used it) didn't click. Weird thing, I thought I'll love the damn thing (great reviews everywhere), but for some reason it didn't do it for me, so I'm trading it with 135 tomorrow.

Now my arsenal is: 28-300L (by far my fav lens), 50 1:4, 16-35 (welcome back, gorgeous) and 135L (welcome back, handsome :D).

Thanks for reading.

PS Aren't you thinking why did you just read this?

PPS Why are you continue reading this?

PPPS That's it, I give up... You win. :D

I'm not sure I want to spend on another 16-35, even though it was a great lens, but I'm workin' toward that 135L. It'll go well with the theatre shots. You're making quite the nice collection. ;-)a

Ah the 135L - my favourite lens bar none.

So much glass. Expensive, but ... well you know the rest.

Both excellent additions. The 16-35 seems to be one of those lenses that you either love or hate. Me, I love mine. I had bought it for a wider FOV for my crop factor cameras. Put it on one of my FF cameras and wow. My 135 gives me some of the best bokeh a guy can get. Amazing piece of glass too.

Now you just have to keep reading here. You'll be adding more.

Enjoy the new glass.:D
