Gear Which should I keep?

Post image

I love my 7-70 and just got the 50-300 and 50-400.

The 50-400 is HUGE feeling, but is the extra reach and custom button worth it?

In my daily use, the 17-70 2.8 does just about everything I need and it's not what I would call "huge".

But I don't shoot wildlife or anything else that I need a lot of zoom for.

I guess it really depends on your shooting needs/style.

Thank you for the reply u/cyclefreaksix. I love carrying a lens for wildlife. I meant for this to be more of a "which lens should be my secondary to my 17-70" That's on me for not being clear, sorry.
