Which lenses should I keep/sell

[McCardie09]

I'm looking to sell at least one of my lenses but I'm stuck on which one. I shoot with a Canon 7d and here are the the lenses I have:

Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM

Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM

Canon EF 70-200mm f2.8L IS II USM

Tamron AF18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di-II VC

I just got the Canon 17-55 and I love it so I know I'm keeping that one. If it helps, 90% of the time I shoot family, baby/children and high school senior portraits.

Sell the 18-270.

+1 on that. If you want extra focal length, get the 1.4 extender and use it on the 70-200

Do you think I should keep both the 50mm and 17-55mm?

50mm 1.4 gives you a full extra stop, better bokeh, less weight but no IS.

Depends on your shooting needs because the IS (in theory) compensates for the 1 stop fast aperture but does nothing is your kids are moving about and you want to freeze action.

If you do a lot of indoor/low light shooting I would recommend retaining the 50mm 1.4 despite the overlap as IMHO the lens serves as very specific and useful purpose for such situations.

Is there a trick behind your question? This is ALMOST no brainer.......sell that Tammy
