Shall I sell this lens and invest in another?

Recently I find myself using my 50mm 1.4 most of the time. Now I have two other lenses a 100mm L macro and a 15-85mm.
I'm thinking would it be a good idea to sell the 15-85mm and buy another lens.
I also have no idea what to replace it with?! I have an Olympus E620 with two lenses which I'm thinking of selling and putting towards a new lens.

Any help is greatly appreciated
 
If you don't use it, why? If you want wider the 10-22 is an option, but you could just sell it and not replace it if you don't feel the need.
 
Well the main reason for replacement is because I will end up with two prime lenses only.
Would you think it will worth it to sell this and save up for a 70-200, and also get a wide angle lens too. Well the 10-22 is EF-S too, I'm more thinking of getting EF lens so that I can use with FF bodies too.

Thanks
 
The only full frame lens that'll be wide on your APS-C too is the Siggy 12-24mm. I have one and love it, it's my most used zoom.

A 12-24mm, 50mm and 100mm might just do for me but a more sensible option might be to have something in the 17-50mm type range for your APS-C even if it's just a kit lens rather than a f2.8.

Hmm bit tough. I'd be weighing up keeping the zoom you have or going for the 24-70L :/

Well this seems like an option but I will lose the wide angle here.

Thanks I'll have a look at the 12-24. But not really thinking of the 17-50. Well to be honest it really is important for me to have a fast lens.

My aim ultimately is to have a 70-200, 50, 100 and have something on the wide angle side.

My question mainly is that, is it worth doing something like this or no benefit in it??

I'm being so pain I know lol

Thanks everyone :-)
 
If you aren't sure what to get, prob best to save the pennies and get something you 'need' later. The wide side seems to be lowest on your priority list. Remember the 50 on a FF isn't going to be same as on the 7D. To get roughly the same length in FF a 85mm or 70-200 would do, this will make your 50 the 'wide' angle in your set

Just picked one of these up for my D700 - superb lens, sharp and distortion-free at 12mm, amazing!

Ok I'm going to save up for a 70-200mm 2.8. I'll look at a wide angle later, the Sigma looks good.

Thanks for help everyone.
