Which lens do you plan on getting next, if any?
I've been holding off for a while on purchasing my next lens, half because I have been super busy with work and haven't been able to shoot much at all this year, and half because I was hoping and praying that Canon would announce a successor to the 100-400mm at this year's Photokina. That, sadly, never came to be, so I decided to forget about the 100-400mm and go a different route.
The next lens I plan on getting will probably be the 70-200mm f/2.8 IS II, along with a 2x TC. Hopefully those will be mine around Christmastime, or at the latest, Springtime. The only thing I can see getting in my way would be if the Samyang/Rokinon/Bower 12mm f/2.8 Fisheye came out first, but that's a cheap, fun lens that I could hold off on.
After that, I am not entirely sure what I will get. I will be missing out on an rectilinear ultra wide, so the 16-35mm f/2.8 is a possibility, as is the f/4 version, but I like the f/2.8 for shows and starscapes. Who knows, I might just get the 24mm f/1.4 or 14mm f/2.8, the possibilities are endless! Let's just hope this new job pans out so I can afford to treat this Gear Acquisition Syndrome :rolleyes:

So many lenses, so little disposable income. ! Haha...
I'm torn, I've felt that I needed a long reach zoom for a while the 100-400 + extenders were looking like the compromise with AF to 400 but manual reach to 800 for slow moving stuff like ships at sea etc... Would I keep my 70-300L though.... The Tamron 150-600 opened my eyes, the Sigma 150-600 is likely to excite more but I've a fear of 3rd party glass... A Canon 500 f5.6 prime for £1500 would probably make me happy though.
However, I've been using my Lensbaby Fisheye much more recently so the 8-15 is perhaps looking more likely as my next, but then I've a desire still for a 35mm, do I go for a not much better than my 24-70 2.8 II 35 2.0 IS or the getting old and huge 35 1.4 ? But then the 85mm... The headache !!!
Last up, come on Canon, I'm ready for better standard zoom for my EOS-M - either a 15-85 or a shorter range pancake will be good thank you ;-)
