Seller's Remorse/Regret Anyone?

One lens that was the 85mm f/1.8. As soon as I sold it I missed it and bought a new one a year later. I'll never sell this one.

Nope sold both the 18-55mm and 75-300mm kit lenses and never looked back.

I replaced a Tamron 17-50 with a 17-40L and regretted it. I lost a stop and didn't get much more in the way of IQ IMO. I've since sold the 17-40 and shoot mostly primes, but I shouldn't have let go of the tammy.

I'm thinking of packaging up my 200/2.8 with 2 other primes to get a 35/1.4L. I better think about it more.

200/2.8L is superb! I sometimes think if I had kept it... BUT the 70-200 isn't too far off in IQ and sharpness. The weight and color of the lens don't bother me, but it's the crips images that I sometimes miss. IS brings me back to reality, though, and it reminds me of why I sold it in the first place.

I'm too afraid to sell the ones I have. Though, back when I got my first 20D, I sold off the 28-135 (non-is), and the 70-300 v. III. I don't think I'd trade what I have...though, I'd like to add some primes. 5D is crying for them....but so is the wallet.

No big regrets yet, although I have owned 2 17-40's and 2 50 f/1.4's, so there was apparently some sellers remorse there.

i've owned two of each too...and i now own my second 85 1.8 .

i still have the 17-40L -- it's not going anywhere -- but i do regret selling the last 50 1.4, which i believe was an exceptional copy............

I almost considered selling my 400 5.6 at one time, does that count? I'm very glad I didn't though, I love that lens to death.

Lightrules, I just got the same lens (used). Though I need to sell off almost all my lenses due to circumstance this is the one I will never let go (insert cartoon character greedy expression here) lol Sad I had to let go of my other best-buy 85 1.8

i guess for me it is and always was the 100-400. i have owned about 6-7 over the past 2 years. now i got another one that is probably the sharpest zoom i have ever tried (super sharp even wide open with a 1.4tc) and i don't see myself letting this one go...

I sold my 135L in Dec 2007 and bought it back 2 weeks ago.

I regret moving from an XT to a 5D and selling my EFS gear. Don't get me wrong, the 5D is a better camera, but the point here is that I really loved that 17-55mm Canon and also my 10-20 Sigma and am very sad to have let them go. Sure my 16-35 (I) and 24-105 are good replacements, but I'm just in love with them the same way.

Just chiming in as a proud owner of a 200L. Great focus speed and image quality (really great)... not to mention it's light and small!

i have actually sold off any of my lenses. then again i only have a few of them. did trade my kenko tubes set for a kenko tc though does that count?
