Naw, just clearing out the old. Picked up a 16-35L and 85mm prime earlier this year, though. I will admit to having looked for something in a mid-range telephoto......please, though......no temptation needed.

BTW, if anyone is interested in either of the 67mm filters independent of the lens, I'm open to offers.

Good luck on the sale! That Sigma lens is a good one. I used it in the past and it's solidly built and the IQ is pretty damn good.

Thanks. It's a great value IMO. I tend to shoot super wide and wide angle...well...as much as one can on a crop ...so the Sigma lens doesn't see much use anymore. My 10-22mm and 16-35mm lenses dominate use time over my other lenses.

It's killing me that people were reading my Craigslist ad as 24-70mm, though.

Lol yup. That happens a lot. Either it's a good lens for the money. I'm sure you'll have no problem selling it. People just need to realize that it's a good lens.

BTW, I came sooooo close to pulling the trigger on a 7D 2 days ago. I thought it would go great with my 5D (would have been about $1311 after 25% Bing cash back).

Yeah, me too. I have a T2i as a backup/wildlife camera, and it focuses accurately, but just slowly enough that I sometimes miss acquisition on flight shots. While I could certainly afford the 7D, spending $500 to upgrade from the T2i for improvements on such a small fraction of my shots was more than I could make myself do. Like you, though, I came *awfully* close on the last day of the Bing/Ebay cashbacks.

That wouldn't be a shabby backup to an already great camera!
