    I didn't fully expect it, but 2013/2014 turned into a bit of a year of upheaval for my kit. But I can feel it settling down. I am still working out the extreme telephoto side (BIF, etc) as I think I want something beyond 400 mm on FF.

    So, my next purchases are:
    • "Super" telephoto (undecided on which one)



    • Then, the list of "maybe" purchases:
      • TSE 24 mm
      • 16-35 f/4 IS
      • Another 600 EX RT


    After that, it really would be items that I am not sure I need. For example, I have always wanted the 135 f/2 and been intrigued by the 85 f/1.2. But, I am not sure I need either given I have the 70-200 f/2.8 II and uber thin DoF may not fit my skill level or shooting style. I would like a 20-24 mm f/1.4-2. But I am pretty content with the 24-70 f/2.8 and Rokinon 14 mm f/2.8 for nightscapes. If a new lens came out that was sharp at f/1.4, that may change my opinion and move that lens up the list.

    So, I am already planning on taking the money I usually spend on GAS and doing something similar to what you describe. Maybe a photo class or two or a guided destination photo shoot. That is probably later 2015 or 2016. First, I do want to find something affordable in the supertelephoto range.

    I am wanting to sell my 500mm f/4L Version I in order to upgrade to the 600mm f/4L Version II
