    <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) &ndash; when I was shooting film this
    was by far my favorite lens.
    <li class="MsoNormal"]Standard:
    EF 50mm f/1.8 &ndash; 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>For shooting with an APS-C sized digital sensor (i.e. 1.6x
    conversion factor) I would recommend:</o>
    <ul type="disc"]
    <li class="MsoNormal"]Wide:
    EF 20mm f/2.8 USM or EF 14mm f/2.8L USM &ndash; 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 &ndash; whatever best fits your
    budget[/list]
