I say this with a mixture of jest and seriousness:

1. You're missing some prime lenses, at least one to learn / remember old school sneaker zoom (ie your feet).

2. You have some overlap and one way to get more usage out of the current inventory is to invest in another camera body.

I am afraid you are correct, I could use a 600m f4 for wildlife, and I am fer sure 3 bodies are not sufficient, I should add not less than 2 more. When the camera budget regenerates I will keep an eye out for a 1 DS or something like it. 6D is a possibility although if the powerball Gods smile on me I can envision a 1DX or 2. :)

That is why I moved from Wallace, ID in '55 I knew there was nice weather AND Mountains in CA. In Wallace we used to say "If Summer falls on Sunday we were going fishing"



Somewhat similar to Alaska.

Bit the bullet and bought the 70-200 2.8L glass I have been lusting after. A month after I bought the 10-22 lens I had been wanting.
I think (HOPE) I have ever bit of glass I can reasonably expect to use.

Now. the question.

HOW DO I STOP buying camera glass?
70-200 2.8L
100-400 3.5L
18-200 EFS
28-135 EF
10-22 EFS
100 2.8 EF Macro

professional help?


Well if you want to keep up with the addiction just start throwing the glass my way I have band-aids if the glass cuts me lol..........

Nothing wrong with me..It's about some of those Canon folk who are so on edge that they resort to being genuinely nasty to anyone who has a bit of a friendly dig at their insecurities.

Rob, Twice in my life I set out to buy a Nikon. I was talked out of it by Nikon folks. Cameras and lenses are just devises to me I would shoot anything that would get the job done. I just wonder about the digs? "JR"
