henry_l Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 Very interesting indeed. I don't specialize in any type of Photography, I just shoot whatever, but mostly of my toddler, and there's no lens in the world fast enough for this kid. I've used a borrowed a 24-70 before and enjoyed it, and had many keepers. So far the 35L is still the most compelling lens the match my style, and the 135L is definitely unique as well. I've only tested out a 135L in a store. It's interesting to observe how many would choose to keep an ultra wide zoom and a long fast prime. I do enjoy shooting wide, but I don't do it often enough. Thus my reasoning for focusing my kit to my usage. I'm also trying to lighten my kit as well. The 70-200 f/4 IS is probably the biggest I'd want to carry. I also have access to a 70-300L as well. I've considered adding the 28/1.8 to my line up and calling it good. But that means I won't be getting the 35L if I go that route. Thanks all for your responses....decisions decisions. Time to get out and shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_r._fulton_jr. Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 <p>These kinds of questions always seem to produce more questions than answers. But perhaps that's just me. If I have my 5D2 with me (Leica M is always with me) and am traveling light (like right now) I'd have the 16-35 f2.8L II and the 50mm f1.2L.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
