It's amazing that you can buy a Canon lens and then sell it one year later at almost the same price you bought it. I enjoyed the 40D kit lens inmensely during this year. But recently I felt I grew over it and needed more. So I got a 24-105L and sold my EF-S 17-85 IS kit lens. It feels like maturing ... Sorry for the rambling, and thanks for listening. 5D4 | 7D2 | 11-24/4.0 L | 16-35/2.8 L III | 24/1.4 L II | 24-105/4.0 L IS | 40/2.8 STM | 85/1.2 L II | 100/2.8 L macro IS | 70-200/2.8 L IS II | 100-400 L IS II | 400/4.0 DO L II | 580EXII | EF 1.4x III | Gitzo monopod GM2541 | Gitzo tripod GT2541 | Really Right Stuff ball head & plates | B+W & Singh-Ray filters

I sold the 75-300mm a week or two ago (AU$175, not bad) but the 18-55mm won't be going anywhere. I'll probably keep the 400D unless I end up with two better bodies though, so the 18-55mm will just sit there as anyone who is stupid enough to buy it will probably hunt me down for their money back!

I used the new Landscape preset for Adobe CameraRaw. One has to be careful with it though. Sometimes the greens go a bit over the top and need to be adjusted. Overall, it has great contrast and color balance as long as one keeps an eye on those greens. 5D4 | 7D2 | 11-24/4.0 L | 16-35/2.8 L III | 24/1.4 L II | 24-105/4.0 L IS | 40/2.8 STM | 85/1.2 L II | 100/2.8 L macro IS | 70-200/2.8 L IS II | 100-400 L IS II | 400/4.0 DO L II | 580EXII | EF 1.4x III | Gitzo monopod GM2541 | Gitzo tripod GT2541 | Really Right Stuff ball head & plates | B+W & Singh-Ray filters
