That I will never buy another DSLR lens.
Here's my story..........
Started off in 2007, or so, with a Canon 350D. Loved that camera, still have it, it's a gem. This though, unbeknown to me at the time, bought me into the Canon lens system. Clever marketing I suppose. Started with the obligatory, iteration of the 18-55, my first Canon lens.
A few years later, upgraded to the 40D, then a 7D, now a 5Div, that I bought new in 2017. I love the 5Div and I bought even more glass for it. I bought the 100-400(Mk2), just a month or so ago, love that too.
I currently own 7 L lenses.
With the purchase of the 100-400 though, without taking much notice of the fact, that it was probably my last DSLR lens that I will buy.
Scary.
I also have an R7, so already getting into the RF mount. My 5Div isn't going anywhere, it will be with me the day I shuffle off this mortal coil (or it conks out) and I have the glass to see it through. I can't help think though, that from now on, my next camera will be a Canon mirrorless. I have no real plans for my next camera though .......... yeah, I often get caught up in the marketing gumph but common sense always prevails and I don't indulge unless I need to, hence the R7 purchase over a year ago. I needed the R7 more than I wanted it.
I love my lenses, more than the bodies, it's a bit like a hifi is only as good as its speakers but I can't help but wonder what my next lens (or indeed body) will be.
Just sayin.
