<p class="MsoNormal"]This depends on the camera body.<span> For shooting film or a full-frame digital
sensor, I would recommend:
<ul type="disc"]
<li class="MsoNormal"]Wide: EF
24mm f/2.8 (less flare than the f/1.8) – when I was shooting film this
was by far my favorite lens.
<li class="MsoNormal"]Standard:
EF 50mm f/1.8 – greatest lens value for the money
<li class="MsoNormal"]Portrait
and close-up: EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro
<li class="MsoNormal"]Telephoto:
EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM - expensive but it's the minimum needed for sports or wildlife[/list]
<p class="MsoNormal"]<o:p>For shooting with an APS-C sized digital sensor (i.e. 1.6x
conversion factor) I would recommend:</o:p>
<ul type="disc"]
<li class="MsoNormal"]Wide:
EF 20mm f/2.8 USM or EF 14mm f/2.8L USM – The 14mm would be my first
choice but it costs almost 4x more than the 20mm.
<li class="MsoNormal"]Close-up:
EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Compact Macro
<li class="MsoNormal"]Portrait:
EF 85mm f/1.2 USM
<li class="MsoNormal"]Telephoto:
EF 200mm f/2.8L USM or EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM – whatever best fits your
budget[/list]
