Just bought an 50mm lens for my Canon looking forward to use it!

Nikon 16-85mm. Perfect focal lengths for most situations :)

Canon EF 100mm f2.8 (macro)


i actually rarely use it for macro, the lens is EXTREMELY sharp for everything.

24-70 2.8

LiquidTurbo 12-05-2012 02:23 PM

24-70mm can do just about everything.

BUMPING this thread!

My buddy is planning to propose and asked me to capture some images. I own a 24-70 F2.8 and 85 F1.8.

I used my 24-70 100% of the time a few months ago when I helped another buddy shoot his proposal. Would any of you guys use the 85? The 24-70 seems to be able to do it all.

Boostslut 05-26-2013 08:40 AM

The 24-70 sucks @ F1.8!

giCe 05-27-2013 09:56 AM

on Canon -> 24-70 f2.8 VR
on Olympus m43 -> 17mm f1.8

The 35mm 1.8 is the only lens that I use.

I had the 18-55mm and the 55-200mm, but found them unnecessary for my style.

Sigma 30mm 1.4. Easy to use, focuses quickly and is good for most situations. Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC Autofocus Lens for Digital Camera 300205

Boostslut 05-27-2013 01:27 PM

My go to lens, is the Canon 17-40F4L. Why? Because it's the only lighter lens I own. Although I do really enjoy the 70-200 2.8 for basically everything!

Soundy 05-27-2013 01:46 PM

Out of three lenses (EF-S 17-85 kit, old EF 75-300, and EF 50/1.8), I'd have to say the Nifty-50 sees the most use. Just love how fast it is vs. the other two.

I am planning on doing my backpacking trip with a 17-40 mounted on my new 6D and a cheap and light zoom in the pack, something like the Tamron 55-200mm that I took with me to Spain. I found that on my recent trip to Spain, I took a TON of photos at 17mm and really would not be happy with the compromise to 24mm to replace it with a 24-105.

If I were to go birding daily or something like that, then most likely yes!

Mashimaro 05-29-2013 11:36 PM

My new go to lens: Canon 24-70 2.8 II

Amazing lens compared to the version I. :)

20mm f1.7 on my m43

dark0821 05-30-2013 11:27 PM

nikkor 17-55 on crop... but do keep the 50mm 1.4 in the bag...

and almost never use my 70-300 LOL

Hondaracer 05-31-2013 01:49 PM

So are many of these go to lenses wide angle? What constitutes a wide angle lense?
Posted via RS Mobile

Volvoman 05-31-2013 02:11 PM

Since 50mm is the standard (on full frame), I would say anything below that is wide.

My go to is the Sigma 35mm f1.4
