In 2008 I inherited a Canon EOS 350D with a bunch of accessories, tripods and 4 lenses:
-Sigma DC 18-125mm 1:3.5-5.6 (my all-purpose go-to lense)
-Canon Compact Macro EF 50mm 1:2.5 (my trusty macro lense)
-Canon Zoom Lense EF IS 75-300mm 1:4-5.6 (I rarely use it on nature and the moon)
-Canon EF-S 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 (I have yet to find a use for this)
My best estimate is that all of this was purchased in 2005/2006. Since 2008 I've put several thousand shots on my camera and I've gotten more serious about my hobby over time (manual focus, switching to RAW, tinkering with manual aperture, etc). I'd estimate that I shoot 30% macro (picture related, the first macro shot I really liked back in 2009), 50% daylight outside (nature, landscape, city), 10% night, 10% people/portrait.
I'm looking to upgrade the camera in the next two years, since I'm getting pretty fed-up by the technical limitations of my 350D. But since I've never had to buy any of my gear I really have no clue about lenses. So what would you say is my next step? Are there any lenses worth buying that would bring me a step further or is upgrading the body next in line for me? Is there any use in keeping the fourth lense? Apart from test shots I've never used it once.
Concerning budget - let's say I can easily afford good quality, but I don't need to go full pro yet. I appreciate any input.
