I Mean - How Many Lenses Do You Need?

[beano500]

Er - just been tidying up and... er ...realised... how my NAS has been over the last few years...




























How many do you really need???

[Famous Graham]

Ive got 5 at the moment but could definitely do with another one or two.

10-20 Sigma
50mm 1.8 Canon
24-105L Canon
105mm Sigma macro
400L Canon

Big gap in the middle there. But I might well replace the 400 with a 300 and TCs.

Ron, you need to get a job! BTW, what's a NAS?

[poah]

I have

EF-s 10-22
tamron 17-50 f2.8
EF 24-105 f4 L
EF 100-400 f4.5-5.6 L
sigma 30mm f1.4
EF 135 f2 L

would like 300mm f2.8 IS L, 85mm f1.2 L and 50mm f1.2 L


you can never have enough lenses lol

[cannedheat]

Only two for me...

Tamron 28-75mm F2.8
Canon 70-200 F4 L IS

Although I've pretty much convinced myself to chop the Tamron for a Canon 24-105 F4L

[monkeyhanger]

Sigma 15-30
Canon 28-135 IS
Sigma 70-200 f2.8
Canon 100-400L IS
Sigma 120-300 f2.8
Sigma 2x TC

The 28-135 will be replaced this year, probably by a 24-105 IS. Once i get the joy of paying for the 1DMK3 out of the way i'll be plotting a major lens purchase. Either a Canon 300L 2.8IS with a pair of Canon TC's or a Sigma 500 f4.5

a) got one
b) "Nikon Acquisition Syndrome" - that never-ending urge to purchase something with Nikon or Nikkor in the name.....

[crmcatee]

I'm thinking I've got all bases covered...

All Canon..

EF-S 10-22mm
24-70 2.8mm L
100mm 2.8mm Macro (haven't taken any shots with this one yet...)
100 - 400 L

[sidaorb]

Short list really

Sigma 70-200 F2.8
Canon 50mm F1.4
Canon 28-135mm IS
Canon 35-350mm L (my fave!)

Maybe look at a 28-300 L IS next year.

After I've purchased a 2nd hand MKII when they become a little cheaper!

Monkeyhanger let me know when you wanna get rid of your 28-135 as my girlfriend's after one of her own too.

I'd keep it alongside the 24-105

I'd work on your manual focus technique... or get to Spec Savers...
