Need to Sell One Lens

Out of my 4 lenses, which one would you sell and why? I need some extra cash to close on a house, thus I need to liquidate one lens.

I do not shoot for a living, just for fun. I enjoy taking landscapes, dog pictures, travel, general stuff, ect. I've been loving the look of the primes, and lately that has been all I've been shooting with. Its just hard to part with one of them, because they each serve a purpose.

24-105
70-200 f4 IS
35L
135L

What lens do you find yourself picking up the least often?

Well... out of all your lenses the 35L is worth the most money, so if you sold it, you would get the most money for it.

The other three are worth about the same... well what you use the least I guess!

I use the 70-200 the least at the moment. But I've only had the primes for 4 months, so I guess the newness of those hasn't worn off yet. Even when I didn't have the primes, I still rarely used the 70-200.

If you do choose to sell the 70-200, then down the road if you decide to get the 70-200 again you may want to upgrade to the 2.8

I think the 135L and the 70-200 are somewhat redundant. I'd ditch whichever one you think would be easier to live without.

I would get rid of the 70-200.

I would get rid of the 70-200 f/4L IS. In fact, that's what I am doing with mine.

Since you like primes, the 135 does and 24-105 makes the 70-200 not as useful, I'd say sell that.

You could always sell the 70-200 and pick up a used 200mm 2.8 at another point in time when you get some cash together this summer.

Only you know the answer to this. Take responsibility for your own decisions

I'd get rid of the 24-105!

you have the super amazing 35L & 135L and the 70-200 f4L IS to cover in between and tele!

If you don't need the tele (which most people do!) then get rid of the 70-200 cause you'll have 24-105 + 135 for extra reach but then you could also drop the 35L cause you have the length covered by the zoom, although not as fast!

Its a tough one! I give you that!

Never ever sell a 135mm 2.0.... ever.

sell both zooms and buy 200L/2.8 to perfectly compliment 35&135, you won't regret it.

I think I'll get rid of the 70-200. I have a friend who is so kind as to buy it from me and let me borrow it if I ever need it again!

Thanks for all the input guys.
