Last August I bought myself a Sigma 18-35 f1.8. Since then I've hardly used it and it got to the point I put it up for sale & enquired about part exchanging it. There was no real interest & the part ex price was pretty low so I figured I would keep it, get out more with it & use it to its potential!

Took it out today & got some of my favourite family shots in ages! Anyone else had a near escape selling an item of gear?
 
yep i nearly sold my eos 3 and eos 30E - I'm glad i didnt as they are still incredibly good cameras for the ocasional day i want to shoot filum

peanuts on ebay if you want toget another one
 
I've regretting seeing pretty much everything I've ever sold.

I really did like my Siggy 12-24mm, 20mm f1.8, 30mm f1.4, 50 and 85mm f1.4's and 150mm f2.8 but they had to be used on my 5D and I wanted a smaller package. I also regretted selling my Sigma 28-300mm. It wasn't a great lens but it was a good day out lens and I took some of my favourite pictures with it.

Another I regret selling was a Voigtlander 25mm f0.95, a very good lens for MFT.

I regret selling my film gear too but it wasn't getting used.

Me too, especially the kit I sold quickly. The one I regret most was a Leica Summicron-C 40mm f/2. I needed the money at the time but I wished I'd gone to Wonga instead :)
 
No regrets about selling photographic gear in the past. It doesn't really mean anything to me anyway, just 'stuff'. I did have to sell a S & W M60 years ago, when I needed the money badly. I wish that hadn't been necessary...
 
I sold my soul to the devil and never looked back :)

Seriously, Ive just sold my X-E2 and bought an X-T1 and I m not sure yet if its a mistake :(

I did the same. Went into Jessops yesterday and played with an X30 and X-E2. Forgotten how nice they were. Luckily, Mrs A came along before I got my wallet out......

Having just bought a new macbook thinking about selling the X-T1 and buying and X-E2 from the refurb store although non in stock at the mo
 
Not sold any camera kit and wished I hadn't but do wish I still had a couple of the cars from my past. Having said that, one went to scrap and the other was starting to rot again so, much as I might like them back, I'd want them in mint condition rather than as I sold them!
