Your future gear:

2nd body: 5D III + 70-200 f2.8 IS II
Low light & protrait lenses:
1. 50 f1.4
2. 85L II and/or 135L
DONE...so much less lenses in the bag

I'm not sure why I'm keeping the 15-85, I just like it for all around use.
I feel bad when I don't use my lenses. Almost like they are on the playground and are never picked to get into the game.

So you are my competition... I hope you sell yours... after I sell mine. But I'm talking only 10 minutes or so; it doesn't have to be a long wait.
Speaking of waiting, how long has it been listed? I have put some lenses up at 10p.m. and they sold by 11p.m. that same night... but I'm guessing I'll have to play the waiting game with this one.
jdramirez said:To add closure to the story, someone did buy my lens. YAY! It is a birthday gift, so I gift wrapped it for them. And the wife found the missing money from our savings account this morning and I told her to shut the front door.

The last time I did that...I ended up with P&S ;D
adhocphotographer said:I'm in a similar boat... my 17-55 has sat in my lens cupboard for the last 6 months (since i got my 5d)... I was saving it for my back-up camera, but now i'm thinking of selling it.
My wife is getting a 100D and I was thinking she might use it with it, but attaching it to the 100D makes the combo so heavy/unbalanced i know she won't like it much.
My 450D is more use as a paper weight... it is so bashed up and crappy (compared to the 5D) I don't see much point keeping the 17-55 for it, since i have barely used it anyway...
I vote sell it... That is what i'm going to do, and put the money towards something else (I can get a 24 2.8 IS for not much more than the re-sale price... A plus for the 100D/wife and my 5D alike).

Another one! We could start a club! Has anyone from this thread sold theirs yet?

My closest opportunity came when I was contacted by a very nice young person who was willing to buy it for my asking price. She'd been doing paid work for a while and was ready to upgrade her equipment to the next level. We were all ready to go when she told me she was excited, as it should be the perfect lens for her 5D mark ii... ???

that is frustrating. but she really should know better once you start paying for full frame.
