Keep the ones that start with a C cause you can COUNT on them. Get rid of the one that starts with T cause it is TRASH.

I will never let go of my "primes".
Same here. I own more primes then Zooms. 24 or so of them all.

Suggestion: When viewing photos by other people never look at the technical data (focal length, aperture, shutter speed). Look at the photo and relations between the different image elements. Ask what the photographer was trying to do.
Suggestion 2: Keep all your stuff. Take a single lens with you. Find a a scene or subject. Figure out what you can do with the camera and lens on hand. Keep at it until you do something good.

Excellent advice or exercise.

When are you going to get a macro lens?
Just kidding. You'll find the 100-400 will get you really close, especially if you use the 1.4 TC with it. and it is amazingly sharp, even with the TC. I have a friend that was shooting dragonflies with hers the other day and the results were excellent.
How do you like your Tamron?
I would keep all of your lenses. And yes, if you ever go full frame you are already covered.

Keep them All. Each lens has a different perspective and gives a different look and feel. Whenever I sell a lens I wind up buying another one back. Have fun. Life is too short

Looks like you have a very nice assortment of lenses. If it was me,i'd keep them all. You never know when you might need them.

Take a look at the meta data of your photos and see what focal length you usually shoot at and go from there.

The last three are all covered by your telephotos, so if the telephotos give you sharp results, just stick with them. The prime lenses can be very nice for portraits and landscapes, but it sounds like those aren't really that useful for you.

Even if you usually shoot in a specific range, your tastes will change over time. I use mainly prime and specifically mirror less Sony and Zeiss. Since you are already invested and do not need the cash, keep them all and have fun exploring and learning

The only redundancy is see is the 55-250. Keep the primes. And then shoot more until you appreciate the fantastic glass you have collected.

55-250 can go.
Keep the rest.
Get out and shoot. Get good at it. Print 'em and put em on your wall. Enjoy!

Sell the Tamron and Canon 55-250 when you get the 100-400. Keep the rest.

I like the Tamron for the zoom range, although at 300 it can be a little soft depending on conditions. Here is one I took at the full 300 though with that lens.

If I had that problem I'd lose the Tamron, esp as you ordered the 100-400, I'd consider adding a faster zoom in the under 100 range , on my T4i and T1i that's the Sigma 17-70 f2.8-4, if I had the bucks I'd go for a Canon in that area, Bob.
