L Addict seeking help! | |
Sorry, but you are officially screwed. The first one tends to be the cheap fix, to hook you in. 70-200 4L for only $580? Yes, I'll take one!
Get home, shoot with it... Wow, look how sharp it is.... look at the colors!
Browse on over to B&H....see a 17-40...because you need a wide L too.
And a wide-zoom 24-70 2.8L...
And then, 70-200 at f/4 is too slow, you need the 2.8L or 2.8L IS...
Leaving just the 17-40 being f/4, so that needs to become a 16-35 L...
But you need longer than 200mm, so a 1.4x or 2x arrives...
...and still, you don't have enough reach.
A 300 4L IS or 400 5.6L arrives....
eventually, that's not fast enough either....
300 2.8L IS is long enough....with converters....
Then, you need to shoot in low light....but 70-200 2.8L IS isn't fast enough....time for a 35L and 85L and 135L.
But 135mm isn't long enough...you need 200mm at f/2.0....

That sounds something like my story....except I bought the 70-200 4L and 24-70 a few hours apart. I bought the 200 1.8L and 300 2.8L in the same week. I bought a 1DIIN and a 1Ds a few days apart (1D bodies are similar to L lenses in your obsession to own more).
Face it, you are screwed...it will never end. I still want lenses covering from 14-600mm from Canon....
