In the beginning of this month, this is the gear i had in my bag:

1. Canon 400D
2. Canon 28mm 2.8
3. Canon 28-105mm
4. Canon 50mm 1.8
5. Canon 70-300 IS
6. Sigma 18-50mm 2.8
7. Sigma 18-200mm OS
8. Sigma 150mm Macro
9. Canon BG-E3 Grip
10. Canon RC1 Remote
11. Canon 430EX

And now, all that remains is this:D:D

1. Sigma 18-50mm 2.8

On a more serious note...the sigma 18-50mm is not a full frame lens so it can't be a 5D MkII...so i'm guessing it's a 50D...

You defect to the dark side after getting rid off the 3 last Canon things? :eek:

[Csae]

That you couldn't manage to sell the sigmas?

I don't blame you :o

It seemed like you had a lot of gear covering the same range.
I'd imagine you'd want to upgrade and consolidate into a few lenses and a kick-butt body.

Nah! Though I would have loved to own a D300, but Nikon simply doesn't have the lenses that I'm after:p

Don't really care for full frame yet!

LOL:D:p

Actually, these sigmas were the only ones worth keeping!

Spot on! I've learnt to appreciate quality over quantity:)

Why would anyone want to get rid of the Sigma 18-50? :)

When I went from Sony to Canon I did a lot of dropping lenses. I am currently up to 4 lenses compared to about 6 with Sony/Minolta, and I have about $1000 more invested in those 4.

I'm currently borrowing a friends old Pentax ME Super manual focus. I leave the 80-200 in the bag (I'd hate to see how bad a 70's consumer tele zooms is considering how bad they are today) and just use the 28/2.8 and 50/2. I don't really find myself wanting much else. And the Vivitar 285HV, which I bought for off camera, has been really nice to have with the Pentax.
