Hi guys!
I have been reading so many great and insightful answers in this forum so now I will try asking for help regarding my own troubles;-)
I am about to upgrade (from Canon 60D + Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 VC + Canon 50 f/1.8) to Canon 6D. I gave up waiting for 6D2;-)
Now I am looking for good lenses to go along - preferably 3 lenses, unless you can really convince me why to get more (or less…;-).
My main concern - of course, you can say - is that I want all my lenses to be used and not stored;-) Therefore I try to avoid overlaping too much unless they have different ‘best for’.
My usage:
I use my gear for 'extended' everyday-use (a lot more than general people but not professional/making money from photography - yet, anyway - I would love to;-)
My main shooting will be:
- everyday life in my family indoor/outdoor (number one!)
- a bit of portrait (not portrait sessions but mere like my own kids etc.)
- holidays/vacations/travel
- food photography and other ‘item-shootings’ for blogging
- street
- (I don’t do any wildlife or sports, very little landscape)
Lenses that I am interested in (for full frame):
Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 or
Canon 24-105 f/4
Canon 85 f/1.8
Sigma Art 35 mm f/1.4
Canon 70-200 f/4 IS or
Canon 135 f/2
One thing I am thinking a lot about is that it seems when you start using primes, a lot of you get mere and more attached to them. Does that mean you end up not putting your all-around zoom (like the 24-70) on for occasions like kid’s birthdays parties/everyday life - so that the all-around lens becomes redundant?
I hope a lot of you would take the challenge to point out the 3 lenses you think would be most helpful to me - it would mean a GREAT deal to me and I will be very grateful for each of your answers.
Though it is always so inspiring to hear about favorites from individual use of different lenses (from that persons need), please keep my needs/usage in mind if you put in your suggestion for my top 3 (and maybe number 4 for the future wish list…;-)
Thanks to everyone who will help me;-)
Kind Regards,
Susanne
