p.1 #1 · lens advice (60D)

My lens setup is below.

I am thinking of trading/selling my 17-50 vc for a 10-20 UWA or maybe another prime.

I would like smth wider for landscapes and i hardly use my 17-50. I always find the 30 f1.4 on my camera.

Am i missing too much in the distances 30-70?

Here's my lens lineup.

Canon 60D w/ BG-E9
Tamron SP AF 17-50mm ƒ/2.8 VC
Sigma 30mm ƒ/1.4 EX DG HSM
Canon 85mm ƒ/1.8 USM
Σ 70-200mm ƒ/2.8 EX OS DG HSM

Suggestion : don't try to cover all focal lengths just because you think its needed.

Try to get the right lens or set of lenses you KNOW you will use and have fun with them.

When i want wide landscapes i take my 17-40 and only use it around 17-21mm.
When i want low light indoor pictures i take my 35L because its f1.4 and its very versatile.
When i don't know, i take my 80-200L and always, i mean always love the pictures that come out.

I never miss the 50mm or 60mm, although i have the 24-105L, but i never use it after getting the MDP.
