I head to New York next Saturday. I have $1000 to spend on camera gear, and basically I'm after what would YOU spend it on.

I shoot anything and everything, and have a 5D MKIII, Canon 25-105mm f4, Canon 35mm f1.4, Sigma 50mm f1.4, 580EX Speedlite, and a Carbon Fiber tripod form somewhere in Hong Kong, that does a great job.

Have thought of a second hand 100-400mm lens, B&H have one for my budget, but that's the lot. Then I thought about getting a few other things, like my dream make of tripod - 3 Legged Thing, and possibly a new flash gun, but I really dont know.

Please, give me your thoughts on what you would do.
 
Good point about the flash and tripod. They don't bring much but add a few features to the table.

I have access to the Canon 100mm f2.8 when ever I want. So not worth me investing in, unless I lost that access.
 
What do you find yourself not being able to shoot? It's difficult to make suggestions without knowing what would be most useful for you.

In terms of what I'd do if that were my kit, I'd add one of the 70-200 variants.

By the way don't forget New York sales tax.

Enjoy your trip. If you've not been before I recommend Top of the Rock.

Jeff.
 
70-200 is a great addition. you could get a 2.8 non IS variant for that i think?
 
The 70-200 f2.8 L IS, is on my list to get, but not at this time, and I only really want the L IS version. I would always be wishing I had bought that lens rather than anything else.
