So, I ended up trading my 24-70 2.8L and selling my 17-40 4L for a 24 1.4L and a 16-35 2.8L II. Also purchased a 70-200 2.8L IS USM II. I'm cycling all of my slower and older glass to faster and newer glass. I'm thinking of getting rid of one of my 5d2's and getting a 6D. I'm never going to be able to afford a house at this rate....... sigh.....

I woulda kept the 24-70 to put between the 16-35 and 70-200.

I've got basically the same kit but have the 24-105 for mid range.

I'm sick of my 5d2 though

naw, that 24-70 was a pain in the ass. It was so slow to AF and constantly missed me shots, completely tired of it. I have a 24 1.4L and a 50 1.4 to fill the hole right now. I like the 85 1.2, but I might have to settle for the 85 1.8 for a bit. If I really need, i'll purchase the 24-70 4L IS.

Don't ever even test one out then. It's that addictive.

Test a 5d mk1 instead. ITS BETTER. /couldn't swing the mk2 at the time and wanted a 6d anyway lol


Congrats OP. There's a great read on lensrentals about how newer canon autofocus systems on bodies and newer canon lenses combine to result in better af accuracy. (As opposed to new lenses on old bodies or vice versa). So that's a perk.

holy fuck, i spent more than a few D4's on mine

You know what I said when I bought my Jeep? This ought to be less expensive than Honda's...
Haha! If I'd spent that money on my crx I'd have been competitive in the IDRC NA classes

And then what I got out of it...pitiful, barely what I bought the Jeep for a few years prior. Disgusting. That's why this desert sled I'm building, I'll never be able to sell. That's actually why I'm thinking building bikes is more my speed, much less expensive, even when building pretty nice stuff, and I can have a few at a time. That's how personal warehouses start though... I'd be better off investing in retirement. Then I can buy all the Jeeps and all the bikes and all the hot rods.
