p.1 #1Re: The lenses you bought twice!
I sold the Tamron 90Di, only to buy it back a few months later.
I am planning to buy a 200mmf2.8 back when I have the dough.

I have a good one. Traded my brand new 85/1.8 to an FMer in Walla Walla, WA, (forget his name), then when I saw a cheap 85/1.8 advertised a month later I jumped on it. Only after I sent a pm and email did I realize it was MY former lens! So I bought a used lens w/ receipt that had my name on it. 
Oh yeah, I ended up selling it again a few months later... only to trade for ANOTHER 85/1.8 just a couple months ago. Sigh.... I need help.
Also...sold 17-40L, then bought another again several months later.

Hey Rudy - good to hear from you. Hope whatever 1D that you wound up with has fared you well.
When I sold the 1D, I wound up buying a Fuji S2. Then I switched back to the 1DMkII. Then I wound up back at Nikon with the D2X which is where I am now. I really dig the Nikon, and all the amazing Nikkor glass, but the pull of the 5D is difficult to dismiss. We'll see if I can resist....

not immediate, but I just re-bought the 135L after seling it to fund a 10D to 1D switch.
I also sold the 200/2.8L at the same time, but doubt I will be buying that back soon: it's a little too long for handheld, at least with my current setup with the 1D's somewhat limited high ISO range.
next up for re-buy: probably the 24-70L.

I had the sigma 15mm fisheye and sold it a while back. Now, I think I'd like to get it again to add some variety.

Just bought the 50 f/1.0L again. Loved it the first time, should have never sold it.
