willliam_cockrell Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I currently shoot a Rebel XT (on waiting list for 5D MkII) and I always make sure I carry these lenses; 24-70L 2.8 (great for portraits) and the 70-200L 2.8 IS when I want either extreme close-up or looking for a candid (while trying to be inconspicuous). Both are phenomenal and I can't wait to see how they work on the 5D MkII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

francois_vagnon Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I am using a 5D. My field is nature (landscape and macro). So if I have only one lens to bring, I usually take with me f4 24-105. For macro, I like the incorporated IS feature. But in most cases : f4 17-40 and f4 70-200 IS (+1.4 converter). If I want to limit myself in equipement I leave the 24-105 home. I also use 24 TSE and 45 TSE, to set the horizon where I want in the frame and also to stich panorama images.

A J PItman Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Shooting with a 350d (but soon to be 50d once the reviews start coming in) I use the 24-105L. It produces fantastic IQ, is light, versatile and good value for money. I also have the Canon 100mm macro but need some more practice with it.

bill owens Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Portraits: 85 f1.8 (indoors) 135 f2 (outdoors) Zoom: toss-up 11-16 f2.8, 17-50 f2.8, 70-200 f4 (non-IS) Wide: 11-16 (but I would like a really sharp 14mm at a good price--why is this such a hard feat for the lens makers?) Prime: 135 f2 (my favorite lens) Macro: 17-50 f2.8 (until I get a dedicated macro) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindyp Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I just got the 85 f1.8 and it is by FAR my favorite for portraits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wclark5179 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 24-70, f 2.8 Canon L lens Use it for 90% of my work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linh dinh Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM. This is my favorite lens, the f/2.8 allows me to control DOF much better than 100-400. Zooming is easy and the lens does not extend while focusing or zooming. I really love this lens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anthony_thornborough1 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 EF 24-70 f/2.8 USM L, but It's big and I wished Canon made a compact and bijoux f/4 L version. And I don't mean a new 24-105 f/4 LIS, which is about as big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yalcin_ak Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I own a Canon EOS 300 film camera and two Canon lenses, EF 28-90 mm, 1:4/5.6 and EF 90-300 mm, 1:4.5/5.6 . I also purchased a Sigma macro lens 105 mm 1:2.8 recently and I am experiencing it as primary lens nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brent andersen Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 With the 5D: 24-105L and the 100-400L. I rarely use the 17-40L or the 70-200 f/4L IS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benradvanyi Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I run with a 500mm f4, (sigma) 120-300mm 2.8, 80-200mm 2.8, 24-70mm 2.8, (sigma) 10-20mm 4-5.6, and the 50mm 1.4. Looking to get a 400mm 2.8 shortly. 120-300, 500, and the 24-70 are my favorites. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponlawit Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 24-70 2.8L on 5D is my workhorse! 50mm 1.4 as a compact mode or very low light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpxiong Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 My favourite lens: 17-40 mm, 50/1.4, 70-200mm. My camera is 30D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry_schuitemaker Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I use a Tamron 17-50mm, a Canon 50mm 1.8 II and a Sigma 70-300mm Macro on my Canon 30d. The Tamron is great, the 50mm very good value and the Sigma just soso for outdoor sports. Generally I'm happy with this set but I would like to switch the Sigma with the Canon 70-200mm F4 L but first I'm saving for a iMac. You just can't have it all. When I compare my shots made with the 17-50mm and a 17-40mm F4 L lens I can't see why the Canon has to be doubled in price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
