OK, indulge me here. ;-) I think we all like to think about lens
kits. So, since I've had my Elan 7 w/28-90 and 75-300 lenses for
about 2-3 months now and have shot 20-30 rolls, I'm starting to get an
idea of what my patterns are and what I want my lens kit to be when
I'm "done." In probable order of purchase:
50mm f/1.4 - GP and low-light use
100mm f/2.8 macro - Macro and portraiture
zoom 100-400mm f.4.5-5.6 IS - wildlife, especially birds
zoom 17-35mm f/2.8L - people and scenery
Couple of questions: for those of you that frequent such venues - do
any of these show up on the second hand market much? The lenses I
have probably don't have much resale, right?
I understand that the 100-400 IS is probably too slow to use with an
extender, but that it IS tripod compatible. Plus you can put a
close-up lens on it. I'd love to have more "reach" - but I don't
think I can afford a lens fast enough to use with a TC effectively, or
one of the super zooms. Comments?
Even at grey prices this is already $3,500. But that's less than one
fast 500mm!
Any comments, speculation, things I've missed, similar plans welcome.
cheers
Ken
