Having Sellers regret...

Because, those who wants it.. owns it.

then why do you suppose they rent 16-35, 17-40, 24-70, 24-105 and just about every other L zoom and all the big guns ?

I don't know why they'd carry all of those crummy F4 and F4 IS lenses.

Oh, I'm not worried about offending anyone too weak to support an f2.8 lens

YOU SOLD THE 300 F4???

I felt the same, twice in fact after buying then selling then buying and selling my bigma!

At least you didn't sell a f/1.8 200mm L.

I did last year. I loved that lens, but I haven't lost any sleep over it because I used the proceeds toward a house downpayment. The fact that I have somewhere to sleep because I sold the lens is probably why I haven't lost any sleep over it

I've actually pined more for the Tokina 12-24mm I sold last year when I thought I was getting out of the 1.6x business, and here I am still with a 20D and I get twitchy every time one goes up for sale on the buy/sell boards.

I am thinking about selling my 17-55 & 70-200/4 L IS but I keep thinking I will regret it. Since I got my 35L, I've not used the 17-55 and since I got the 135L, I've not used the 70-200.

I keep saying, I'm sure I'll need them at some time.....

Sold the first born twenty years ago, for what I thought was a good price. Turns out she's worth a fortune now!

Don't know if I would call it regret.
I traded my 70-200 f2.8 IS for the f4 IS version.
I went through my f2.8 withdrawal symptoms.

But I'm all better now that I have a 135L!

Nice one there.

sold both my only "L's i had... needed the $$$ so they had to go! Life goes on, i figure I made it to 40 without them...ill be fine!

My philosophy is never sell a good lens... Once you sell it you're going to need it...

Maybe that's why I now have 15 Canon lenses...

I miss my Sigma 10-20 badly.

It's the fear of regretting it that keeps my 17-40 with me, I've put it up for trade/sale a couple of times and I always pull it before it gets any interest. I "replaced" it with the Tamron 17-50 F/2.8 as I needed the speed for wedding work. Now, I can't say for certain if it's actual results or if it's in my head, when the tamron "gets it right" it's just as sharp as the 17-40, but it doesn't seem to give as high of a keeper rate. Maybe I'm just crazy.
