I have just bought a Canon 70-200mm f2.8 IS off Kerso. :thumbs: It will go very nicely with my Canon 17-40mm L.

However I now have two pretty cheapo lenses that I don't know if I should keep as emergency backups or try and get a few quid for them and try and get some ND grad filters. The lenses are a Tamron 70-300mm and a Canon 28-90mm kit lens. Might get £30 for the pair.

What should I do? Do many of you have backup lenses?

I think you might get more than that on fleabay, and like you said you could put the money to a better use.

stick them in the for sale section someone starting up will be glad of them. if you keep them you will never use them. trust me :)

I'd be interested in the 28-90 as I have nothing under 50mm but very very rarely need it.

I don't think I can use the for sale section yet as I don't have enough posts. :(


James - I would be happy to do some deal on the 28-90 but for the reason above I don't want to upset anyone here by breaking the selling rules. ;) Is there any way we could sort something that is legit?
