Your Top 3 Lens?

[hotsecretary]

I'm on my hunt for others opinions.


I'm making the plunge soon to buy some real glass... and wondering what everyone else finds Top 3 in their bag.


For my style, I'm looking at a good range of 3 to cover most of it.


And been thinking one day I'll have the following.


16-35 2.8


24-70 2.8


70-200 2.8



So what is your Top 3?

[Keith B]

umm...


16-35 2.8 II


24-70 2.8


70-200 2.8 IS


I have become very fond of my 50 1.4 as of late and am starting to jones for the TS-E 90 too.

17-40 F4


70-200 2.8 non IS (I *hate* IS)


300 F4 non IS

If, by top 3 you mean most used, mine are:


70-200 f/2.8 IS


135mm f/2


24-105 f/4 IS





On the other hand, if I could keep only 3 it would be


70-200 f/2.8 IS


24-105 f/4 IS


65mm mp-e


(I would pine for the 100mm macro).

Top 3 at present (going by use) in my bag...


24-105 4.0


50 1.8


100 2.8

Hate is a strong word. And you can always turn it off. How come you hate it?

[Joel Bookhammer]

On a full-frame personally the 24-70 is wide enough for my taste. But with a sub full frame you deffinitly need something wider.


So my selection is


24-70 2.8


70-200 2.8 IS


400 2.8 (even thoughI dont own it I would love to)


My own personal opinion I mainly shoot portraits and wildlife so I am baseing my decision on that


Thanks

That's my dream line-up too coupled with a prime or two.
