what would you sell to get a Canon 70-200 f2.8L IS ...

... from my list of lenses (this automatically assumes that im selling the Sigma 70-200). i mostly shoot weddings and i am lusting for this lens! thanks for the help!

Sigma 15mm-30mm f3.5-4.5 EX DG
Canon EF 24mm-70mm f2.8L
Canon EF 50mm f1.4USM
Canon EF 85mm f1.8USM
Canon EF 100mm f2.8USM Macro
Sigma 70mm-200mm f2.8 EX DG HSM

that 15-30 seems pretty useless, might as well be using the kit lens

wait this doesnt make any sense..

you want advice from us on what to sell from that list? in that case, i disagree with zacwolf. ultra angle shots are always fun, when done right. especially at weddings.

honestly all the lenses are perfect for weddings. just get rid of the tele and maybe one of your primes. think about your needs. you need 50, 85, or 100 macro?

but i mean 3mm difference, the kit lens will give a MUCH bigger range

and 99% of the time you can always use a little "foot zoom"

i wouldnt sell any of your other lenses for it. the 24-70 and the primes are essential for wedding stuff. and the 15-30 is a good lens, and definitly fits your kit just fine. the 70-200 you have is just fine aswell. i say save up and sell the 70-200 when you are ready and upgrade to the IS without loosing anything else.

i'd sell everything but the 24-70L and the macro. add the 70-200L and a 17-40L.

3mm on the wide end is quite significant. also, he has the 24-70, so hes set on the long end.

i agree that 15mm (24mm) would be the perfect WA on a 1.6 crop camera. it's really a shame that canon forces you to buy a SWA or prime to get 15mm.

that's a big advantage of FF, imo.
