Selling my 70-200mm f4 IS?

I’m not using my 70-200 f4 much these days, maybe its time for a break.

Cameras

I’m still saving like a banshee for a new camera.

Here’s what I have lens wise:

* Canon 50mm f/1.4

At the same time, if I bought the 30d, to achieve the wide angle effect, I’d need a 10-22 lens and then another lens to cover the missing gap between the 22mm and 50mm area (yes the kit lens covers it, but its such a bad lens I dont want to consider it.) The 30d is a lot cheaper though. I just don’t know.
