Breakdown on the lenses:
Canon 100-400: This lens, as many of you know, was my go to cash-cow lens for years and earned its money's worth. However my needs have changed and the 70-200 is meeting what I need now along with some of the big prime lenses if I need the reach. That said it is still a solid performer and while it doesn't get the attention it used to I still take it out for a spin on occasion to make sure its in good order. It maintained some slight aesthetic scratches to the depth of field preview contact about 6 months ago, which has not affected its performance at all. I still use it when I need the reach, but the prime glass really got to me. It currently has an aesthetically pleasing A10 West sticker on the lens hood, which comes free. I can remove it if you like.
Canon 10-22: This lens has earned me a handful of sales and even an award - probably the only item in my bag that has paid for itself in full. So why am I selling it? I plan to pick up a full frame and a 17-40L, which means I'm not gaining anything by keeping it anymore. The lens is better than what you'd expect for the money - I've loved the perspective it can offer me while using the crop sensor cameras. Worth its weight in gold to have and a lot of fun to play with.
Canon 40D: yeah it's getting dated but it still kicks the ass of the 50 & probably even 60D. Wonderful colors and saturation this body still lays claim to most of the best pics I've taken. But it's time to part ways, and this classic can be yours. I estimated around 40k shutter actuations.
Canon 24-70 f/2.8L: The workhorse lens for many photojournalists and event photographers worldwide, I have to admit that I have a really hard time unloading this one as I love the f/2.8 and it is very sharp. Seriously so much fun. However, as I'm reviewing the coming years photographic plan I need a wide angle with IS since I can't afford a gyro. And this lens just doesn't have it. There are a few knicks from an incident early this year, and the focal barrel is a bit stiff if you're very picky. Optically it performs just as well as the day I got it from B&H, and a camera tech at a reputable Seattle establishment recently gave it a clean bill of health. I'd love to be able to say I can afford retaining this beauty and have both, and I just might cry if I sell her down the river, but if I keep renting the 24-105 IS I might as well have bought it anyways. This one also has an aesthetically pleasing A10 West sticker on the lens hood, which comes free. I can remove it if you like.
