I sold my 70-200f4L and got this...I am very pleased  Looking at your wish list , you prefer the tokina 12-24 over the sigma 10-22? I'm thinking the 10-22 will be in my future.

I'm thinking my next glass will be a combo (to get a 400 out of the mix) SIGMA 70-200MM F2.8 APO EX DG CANON and SIGMA 2X EX DG APO TELE CANON. I can get both together brand new for about 1250 Canadian. What do you guys think? am I going in the right directions to covering my *important * basics I would pass on the 2x and get the 1.4x. Otherwise, you're looking good.

I mean I can get both a 1.4 and 2 if I wanted to and switch in different situations? "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes." "
