For my needs, these 3 primes covers my needs beautifully:


35mm f/1.4


85mm f/1.8


135mm f/2


I use a 5D2 and all these lenses are really sharp, renders a nice bokeh and helps me getting a narrow depth of field when i need that. They fit in my small camera bag and the setup is fairly light, making it perfect as a walkaround setup.


I could consider adding a 14mm f/2.8 or a 300mm f/2.8 but I doubt I will use any of them much.
