Next year I plan to sell my Canon 24-70 f/2.8L, Canon 100/2.8 macro, and Canon 50/1.4 to partially fund Zeiss Batis lenses. I'll keep my Canon 5DmkIII for longer lenses.
Kind of a big year for me as I moved to full frame and recently decided to consolidate to just two cameras. DSLR for full frame, and mirrorless for my compact/crop kit.
I'm expecting (hoping) next year to be very quiet!
Sold:
All my Bowens strobes
All my PWs (may they burn in Hell)
All my Buff gear.
I finally made the break from the enslavement of large heavy lights that gave me only one stop more light. My work has never looked better and my back has never felt better.
SOLD
(After many years of solid delivery...)
- Canon 70-200 2.8L USM (non-IS), used for over 15 years.
- my third and longest lasting copy of the Canon 50 1.4 USM -- finally decided I didnt need both the 1.4 and the 1.2L.
Looking forward to 2016! Some gear lust includes:
35L, 16-35 slow L IS, 100-400L and the unknowns!
I didn't sell anything. I gave my granddaughter my Zeiss Ikon Contaflex B film camera since she's into film photography in a big way. I bought a Fujifilm X100, the original with the Bayer sensor, from a brother-in-law as a walk around camera. I really like that camera. It's light, well built and takes very good pictures. However, I wanted a camera that I could put a zoom lens on so I went looking to buy an M3 last week while they were on sale. I walked away from the store with a Fujifilm X-T10 with 18-55 f/2.8-4 lens instead. The store was out of the M3 in the sale configuration. They would have ordered one in, but they had the Fuji for an unbeatable price. It was second hand but only three weeks old. The original purchaser brought it back and traded it for an X100T. I just couldn't turn it down. So now I have four cameras (not counting a Canon AE-1): a 5DMII; a 7D; the X100; the X-T10. I do hope at some point to get a 100-400mm MII and a 35mm MKII. My cameras should be good for a while.
Sold both my 6D bodies and replaced them with a 5DMkiii and a 5DS.
5DS is a stunning camera, incredibly sharp detailed images that make me want to rephotograph everything I've ever done before!
5DMkiii as backup was probably a bad choice - I should have kept one of the 6D bodies for backup and waited for the 5DMkiv which will undoubdtedly have better high ISO performance.
Sold my 180mm F3.5L macro because the lack of image stabilisation severely limits its use.
Bought a 70-300mm F4L for photographing mammals on a planned safari.
11-24 f4, amazing lens, it truthfully does go to 11!
35 f2 IS, best $325 I ever spent on a lens (off CraigsList).
Sold:
16-35 f4 IS, I miss it, despite getting the 11-24, but was offered $50 more than I paid for it.
1VHS, had two I bought new, sold one with only 35 rolls of film through it. Got $700 so that film cost $43 a roll in camera depreciation.
Yongnuo RF-602 remote trigger set (X4), became entirely redundant because of the 600-EX-RT's but held on to them because they were so reliable.
