Returned/Sold:

Canon 180mm f/3.5L Macro
Canon 18-55mm Kit Lens
Canon 28-135mm IS Kit Lens

The two kit lenses I sold for obvious reasons, the two L lenses were returned because I found other lenses to be better for my needs.

Holy cow - I just realized how many lenses I've had pass through my possession!

I let go of the following....
nifty 50
28-135 IS USM
70-210 F4

of those I miss the 70-210 F4. loved it....

The following are lenses I've owned, but either traded or sold. Only one lens have I since purchased for a second time (70-200). My current lens lineup is listed in my sig.

Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8
Canon EF-S 17-85mm
Canon EF 70-200 f/4
Canon EF 100mm f/2.8
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8
Canon EF 50mm f/1.4
Canon EF 35mm f/1.4

Bodies:

5D (still own)
1DII

Returned to supplier:
Sigma 28-300 - reason: bought for a trip, but it was way too soft.
Canon 400 f/5.6 - reason: decided to go with the 100-400 after trying both lenses.

Sold:
Kit lens 18-55 - reason: never used it after getting the Sigma 18-50.
Sigma 18-50 - reason: never used it after getting the 17-55IS.
Sigma 50-150 - reason: bought a Canon 70-200.
Sigma 80-400 - reason: bought a Canon 100-400.
Canon 70-200 - reason: rarely used it after getting the 100-400.

Traded In:
- 18-55 "kit" (never used..may as well get a little for it...)
- 10-22 EF-S (was never really happy with the images I got from it...)

Used the above proceeds against a 100 f/2.8 Macro and a 17-40 f/4L

Ok, here we go...

18-55mm --> Gave to father in law
28-90mm --> Gave to friend
50mm f1.8 x2 --> sold
75-300 III --> Sold
28-105 USM --> Sold
28-135 IS --> Sold
Promaster Tubes --> Sold
Sigma 24-60 --> Trading for 85 f1.8 tomorrow
300D --> Sold
XT --> Insurance claim/sold as destroyed
30D --> Insurance claim/sold as destroyed
100-300L --> Insurance claim/sold as destroyed
28-105 USM --> Insurance claim/sold as destroyed

I think that's it. There may be more, but it's all I can think of right now.

I sold my 70-200MM f/4 EF L to a fellow POTNer and upgraded to the f/4 IS version.

I gave my dRebel XT (older one) to my daughter along with the kit lens and the 28-105MM f/3.5-4.5 EF.

So I see a lot of people got the 50mm f1.4 but ended up selling it. Is it a bad lens?? I was thinking of picking one up.

By the way, I just started so I haven't sold any lenses yet...although I am looking for a buyer for my stock lens that came in the box

I don't think it's a bad lens, I think people buy one, use it for a while and realize they don't use in enough to justify keeping it, then sell it off to help fund something else.

Sold:
Tamron 19-35
Tamron 28-75
Tamron 70-300
Canon 100 Macro

All the Tamros were sold to upgrade to better glass.
The 100 Macro I miss dearly. Will purchase a 60mm this spring.
