I've been doing that scary thing called thinking again (I do that sometimes but not very well)...
My current kit list is as follows:
Of the three lenses, only the 70-300 has been on the camera body since I bought it in April, and the main use has been trackside at the British Superbikes. The 50mm hasn't been used since around December 05 and the 17-85 hasn't been used since my trip to the lake district in March.
So my thought was to sell all three lenses (plus filters and hoods) and invest in a Sigma 100-300mm f/4.0 EX IF APO DG (the f/2.8 version costs almost £1000 more so it is out of the question unfortunately) since the camera just doesn't get used for anything other than trackside work.
The downside is that I can't afford to get a decent quality walkabout lens yet (at least until I have sold the house) but then since I haven't done any walkabout since March, will I really miss it?
What are your thoughts? Am I mad?
