Lenses / Re: A 4000$ budget for Lenses on 5D3... need suggestions
« on: April 15, 2013, 11:29:21 PM »
Other than tripod, flash, and filters, suggestion for landscape is 24 1.4 L II, or 16-35 L II ($1400), if you're investing hard on it, go with TS-24 L.
Suggestion for normal range purpose is Sigma 35 1.4 ($900), and your owned 50 1.8 II (a great great lens) I do not suggest 24-70 2.8, actually, not as useful as 35 1.4 for IQ for low light. Face it, you don't need 40-70 range usually other than wedding case, do you?
Suggestion for long range purpose is 70-300 L IS, or 70-200 F4 IS. If you have a backup APS-C sized camera, a 70-200 F4 IS is better and enough. ($1200)
Note, for HDR shootings, lens doesn't matter, go nude with no filters.
Lastly, tripod is the most important gear you'll use for a long time.
