sig 50 1.4
nikkor 60 2.8 macro
85 1.8
100 2.8 macro

and im on the look out for a 35L and a 135L/200L.

this bug is dangerous!

after purchasing 35L, 50L, 85L II, 135L and others past 3 month, I did not buy a single thing for the last 30 days. It takes a while but I think I'm over the bug!!! Best cure is getting hit on the head with a frying pan by a mad wife :).

I want to buy 70-200 2.8 II or 100-400 as my next purchase but please don't tell my wife. Bump from the frying pan is almost gone and don't want a repeat!

You should swing by the 200 f/2L IS photo archive. Worst lens ever. (at least that's what I have to keep telling myself every 5 minutes)
