I know I'm going to take a bath, but the question is how much of a bath?

Thanks guys,

You could always check with Used Photo Pro or KEH. They buy used gear.

Might be a good place to start but remember they have to make a profit too so they will low ball you. Better to check ebay and see what they are going for there and price accordingly

Have you considered trading for some lighter lenses? Your D810 is likely to be wotyh more to you than anyone else, and it will do fine with f/4 lenses in place of the big monsters you have now.

Fair point and it is always a good thing to do your due diligence before parting with things that you spent a lot of money on even when you know that fair market value has changed.

Might take a stroll through EBay and see how much each item seems to be actually selling for. I know that Sigma Sport and the Rokinon 14mm are popular lenses.

That's for you to figure out.

Ponz

OK guys - thanks for all the input but here's what I decided to do for the time being.

I'm going to see how long I can go without using the Sigma Sport 15-600. After all, it's a TANK.

I'll put my 1.4 tele on the 70-200 F/2.8 and crop away.

If anything changes, I'll be back.

I asked about a price on the 24-70 2.8

Easy - sell to KEH, MBP, etc.

More profitable - See what those items have sold for on eBay. More money, but more nuisance.

A PM might be more effective.
That way he gets an email notification and your reply doesn't get "lost" in the thread.
