The one GAS purchase

The Sony 100-400 FE is one of those few purchases that has exceeded my expectations.

I read a good review on this lens. Great for wildlife, and very sharp.

Sigma 150-600 Sport and the Sigma TC-1041 tele-converter.
I went back and forth between that lens in the contemporary vs sport versions but ended up with the C version due mainly to the weight difference as I like to shoot hand-held a lot. One of these days I want to rent the S version just to try it out. Do you shoot mostly on a tripod with it?

Interesting you said that. Sold some older Canon FD bodies and lenses and bought the same lens (and I like it just as much! Great lens). I'm going to try it as an alternative to my 70-200 f2.8 L IS for some indoor sports this winter. - lots lighter.

I still have several FD lenses ( along with my Canon T-70 camera). One of these days I'm going to try one of this FD-EF converters (of course I know I'll lose AF)

Or you could sell the FDs and buy an EOS-1N (or V) and use your EF lenses for film - they are dirt cheap (paid $100 for an immaculate EOS-1N)

Nah, my T-70 is a great little Film camera and besides I'm not really into shooting film any more. I just thought it might be fun to see what sort of results I might get with the FD lenses on my 6D.

Recently purchased a Canon 16-35 f4 lens for my full frame camera. Nice to have a wider capability.

That's on my bucket list!

A used Panasonic 25 mm f 1.4 Summilux DSLR (50 mm equivalent on Olympus). Opened up the possibilities for night photography and lowlight indoor photography.

Sigma 105mm f2.8 Macro - the best lens for macro work and also a great walk-around for my D7100.
I sold my D800 and 3 lenses to 'upgrade' to the D7100 + 50mm f1.8, 35mm f1.8, the Sigma (above).
I recently bought a 70-300 f4.5-f6.3 and the phenomenal Tokina 11-16 f2.8.
No further plans for lenses but I'd love a second D7100.
I do a lot of video work so I have a 2m crane, a 1m slider and an ancient Velbon tripod + a pretty new carbon tripod from Jessops (looks like a copy of the Manfrotto) and a Manfrotto monopod.
The Velbon tripod's head has a few cracks which was due to the weight of the D800. Epoxy fixed that problem.
Wish list:
The D7100 back-up so I'd have two 'active' lenses on the trot
A pro tripod
600mm f2.8 lens for wildlife (that'll never happen)
Better start saving, I guess...
