Like most of us I lust for many photographic things pretty much constantly. My current kit is listed below, I mainly shoot motorsport, aircraft and landscapes, but will dabble with the odd macro or portrait now and again (after forgetting my previous attempts). I've got a sizeable tax refund coming my way which doesn't help my GAS at all ;D
Currently I'm considering an upgraded Polarising filter (current one is a Hoya Pro, would look at a B&W MRC), EF 40mm pancake and a carbon fibre monopod.
Or sell my 7D and put the money from that and what I have coming in to get a 7DII which would require a small top up of funds. Wondering whether its worth it though? My 7D is barely broken in at a 12k shutter count over 2 years. The main reason for looking at a 7DII is better ISO and AF performance (and of course, who doesn't like shiny new cameras to play with ).
The final much less realistic option would be a 5DIII, by selling the 7D, 24 pancake and the Tokina wide angle. But this by my estimation still leaves me needing to find £800 or so, which is more than I'd like to spend really.
Any thoughts, or alternatives? I should say that the only thing that I dislike about my 7D is the ISO performance on blue skies. It really shows up harshly on some aircraft and landscape shots I've noticed, but not so much that it annoys me or stops me shooting. I am just an amateur so I don't currently or plan to earn anything from my shooting in the future, although I have day dreamed about that more than once ;D
