    Re: Three "L" lenses I always carry...



    The only lens I almost always carry is the 24-105 f/4,followed most likely by the 70-200 f/2.8 IS. Third would be a toss up between the 16-35 f/2.8 and the 180mm f/3.5 Macro.


    The last outing I used the first two exclusively. The time before that, the last two exclusively...


    I kind of failed not narrowing down to three, didn't i? Oh well....

    Ok, in my bag most of the time:


    5DMk2 and 30D


    70-200mm f/2.8L IS - Hard to carry around all the time, but I love the reach


    24-105 f/4 - This one lives on the 5DMk2


    EF-S 10-22mm - This one lives on the 30D and I love it.

    Here's what I carry with my 50D:


    1) EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS


    2) EF-S 10-22 f/4-5.6


    3) EF 70-200 f/2.8 IS


    All of the above have a 77mm filter thread which makes my life a lot easier.


    4) 50 f/1.4


    I carry a lens hood for each lens as well.

    I always carry the 16-35/2.8L and 100/2.8 Macro plus a 580EX II flash. Depending on what I'm shooting, I'll also take a 50/1.8 II, 28-135 IS, Tamron 70-300, or 580EX flash. The 70-200/2.8 is at the top of my wishlist. :-)

    So far, I have:


    Canon 40d


    70-200 2.8 IS


    24-105 4 IS


    and am leaning toward the 10-22 EF-S next. It is a fabulous, fun lens. I'm lucky that I've been able to borrow my bro-in-law's copy for a couple of trips and find it to be a lot of fun. I would try to have it for any trip to a city, as it provides some great city/museum/etc shots. I am not sure what's next for a body yet, either the xxd that replaces the 50d or a 5dmk2, so I haven't pulled the trigger. But I suspect full frame will be in my future, so I may wait a while.
