Might as well sell your Nikon gear if you no longer need or use it?
I am selling off stuff on ebay to get a new lens too

I love my D50 Azz - It will probably stay in the case forever (my spare) but I know if I get rid of it - my other one will break the next day LOL

I'm not sure if Canon still make this lens, did they stop making it when the 16-35 F2.8 came out? Might be worth grabbing one while you can.
