.... I don't think I need any more lenses. Strangely, I believe that I'm happy with what I've got.

Probably come to my senses tomorrow though...

Well, I don't have anything for that vital 23mm focal range. Well, nothing that a couple of steps won't fix...!!

Expansion tubes are probably the furthest I'd go (along with the 50mm ).

Lensbaby is just a little too radical for me.

But I'll look into it... ;)

Lensbaby is tilt-shift (well, a cheapo way of doing it...)

Well, sort of. The earlier lens babies put me off with their inability to duplicate a twist. The newer one seems to have solved that, but it still looks way more complicated than the Canon tilt-shift lenses.

Plus the Canons are huge solid chunks of glass and metal. Can't go wrong there ;)

tommy's gear list doesn't sicken me... in fact if he finds a way to bring it all to Africa I might be extra fond of it...;) .
