Who's getting what/wish list
- Thread starter bdunbar79

1. grad ND filters - maybe a drop in filter system like Cokin Z-Pro or Lee?
2. 16-35 f/4L IS (but do I really need wider than 24?)
3. 100-400L II (but maybe my 70-200 + 1.4x is enough?)
4. 5D mk IV? 6D mk II?
To be honest, apart from filters, I'm pretty happy with the gear I have so I'm not sure the lenses I've listed would be a good use of my money, even if they are definitely on my wish list! Will see what the 5D mk IV and the 6D mk II have to offer in due course.

- Get out to take pictures more often.
- 16-35 f4L ? Sony FE16-35f4
- New Mac Book Pro
- New printer
- FE 55f1.8
- FE 90f2.8 macro
- FE 35f1.4
- Canon 5dIV or 6D II?
- Used Canon 5dr/5ds?
- 100-400L II
- 2x TC III
- 1.4x TC III
Probably in that order.
I am still trying to deiced if I want the Canon 16-35f4 or the Sony. A Canon 16-35f4L will complete my Canon system for now. But the Canon 16-35f4 will likely see more use on my Sony A7II until I get a Sony FE 16-35f4. The Canon lens seems better quality but the Sony would be more convenient on an A7II. I would like to someday get a TS 24mm but there are other lens I want more.
I have been using my A7II more often. The Sigma 35f1.4 on my list for a long time. But I am more likely to use my A7II for prime lens. So I have replaced that with the Sony FE 35f1.4. In the mean time I will continue using using an old FD 35f2 and meta-bones adapted EF lens on my A7II.

I've been trying (and failing) not to buy anymore gear this year, but that doesn't mean I can't wish!
1. 16-35 f/4L IS (via 17-40L sale)
2. 50 1.8 STM
3. EOS M3 (debating M1 sale)
Those are my realistic ones. Just sold my Sigma non art 50 1.4 so I think No.2 could be justified

Sony/FE 16-35 is a good lens. It will be great for Sony system. I never try Canon 16-35 f4 IS on Sony before, but I know this lens works VERY well with Canon bodies - sharp and light weight.
3rd option: I sold my FE 35mm and replaced with the new FE 28mm f2. I bought the 21mm conversion, =21mm f2.8, with it. So far, I like it.
Here some photos taken with this combo: http://dylannguyen.smugmug.com/Landscape/Test-Shots-Sony-A7s-FE-28mm-wi/i-r8vs3Rf

1) 16-35 f/4L IS
2) 70-200 f/2.8 IS II or Tamron 70-200 VC
3) Sigma 35mm Art or Canon 35 f/1.4L
new system
4) Fuji X-T1 or X-T10 or maybe X-E2
5) Fuji 23mm f/1.4
6) Fuji 56mm f/1.2
#1 disappeared today when I was able to get the 17-40 for $400. I figure if I don't like it I shouldn't lose too much if I decide I "need" the 16-35.
#2 will happen if/when I sell my 70-200 f/4L
#3 I eventually want (love 35mm) but is duplicated by the M + 22 and would be by the Fuji system, plus I have a 28mm which is "close enough" for now.
#4, 5, 6, is a simple little family travel kit I've been eyeing. The recent discounts on Fuji glass and announcement of the X-T10 may just finally push me over.

7D mark ii.
I'm having so many issues with missed shots with birds.. LOVE my 300 L but on a SL1? It's good but seriously lacking with fast moving subjects. but that's being very optimistic.. I'm too poor. maybe black friday? ;D also with the better iso capabilities!

I agree, the 300mm f/2.8L II IS and 16-35 f/4L IS are common lenses on these lists. They are both on mine too. If I could just get those two lenses first maybe my perspective would change on camera bodies and my GAS would go away ;D

Bad news! GAS is a chronic disease. Once you get it, it will only get worse. (Until either you, or your bank account dies...)

The 600 II didn't cure it. I'm going to have to move on to buying 2-3 lenses at a time.
I (as unemployed - still) envy your wallet and paychecks.
