apparently i'm bringing a DA10-17 fisheye as well.

I'm trying to decide if I need a polarizer for my 16-50. They aren't cheap that big but the whole midday shooting at wide angles over water thing sort of smacks of polarizer needing to me.

I want to have some fun too with it.
I also just got a Ray-Flash ring flash attachment for all us to play with!. It fits on a Sigma DG500! (the canon model) so far so good

I'd say yes pretty emphatically (as long as it's your money ;~)

K20D, Sigma 10-20mm, Sigma 24mm, FA 31mm, A 35-105mm, Sigma 105mm,
K 200 f2.5, DA*300mm, SMC 1000mm f8, Tamron 1.4x TC & A 2x S TC.

Heavy duty tripod with gimbal head for the 1000mm and a Trekpod.

Oh, yeah--and a Sage 9' 9wt flyrod ;~)
