What lenses do you own?

[AudioGlenn]

Speaking of lenses considering selling my 24-105l to help finance a 24-70 ii I can get for $2200 new. I do want the extra stop but just curious if anyone else agrees if the extra coin is worth it.

That's what I'm planning on doing....eventually

You not only gain an extra f-stop, you will also gain in SHARPNESS and SPEEDY AF. Well worth it

Now...Canon need to release better 16-35 or 14-24 f2.8

I don't think so.  I considered it, but I really like the 24-105, and the IS has saved my hand-held shots many times over.  The 24-105 is a sharp lens, fast AF, moderate weight, has 4-stop IS, and is relatively affordable.  The only benefits of the 24-70II is that it is sharper, it gains one stop, and the AF is supposed to be super fast. Both have barrel distortion.

Let's see... I got my first SLR in 1999, had a point and shoot Canon for a couple of years before that.  Recently got a full frame DSLR.  The vast majority of my photography is done when hiking, so light-ish zooms are a big boon for me.

17-40 (landscapes, or for visiting old cities like York with really tight narrow streets)
24-105 (general purpose walkaround lens - my most used lens)
100-400 (compact for great reach - if I'm in an area that I know has interesting wildlife, this will be on the camera body)

The above 3, and camera body, fit into my Lowepro Street and Field Rover AW backpack leaving me space for food, drink, waterproofs and some accessories (filters, etc).

I also have a ef100 macro, that is really sharp and also gets used a lot for portraits.

Tips?  Take photos and enjoy life!

Recently purchased the 5D III after jumping ship from Nikon.  Have the 50L and 70-200 II and will give it a few months before committing to either the 85L or 135 f2.

1. Lenses (I'll just list my Canon lenses):

• 35 f/1.4L - I love this lens. Great for almost any kind of photography especially where you need to capture a subject along with the environment.
• 85 f/1.8 - Great portrait lens and performs wonderfully for its price. Is one of my favorite focal lengths, however, since buying the 135L I find I use it less and less.
• 135 f/2L - My primary portrait lens and by far one of the best lenses in terms of value. It performs exceptionally well.

Next on my list is the 50 f/1.2L as I'm getting tired of renting it.

2. I've been "into" photography for almost 8 years and have been working as a professional for 6 years.

3. Advice:

• Shoot and critique or have someone critique your work often (never stop learning)
• Equipment doesn't make a photographer, but the right equipment can make a job easier
• Buy only the equipment you NEED, rent everything else
• Network, get to know and learn from other creative people in your area
• Make mistakes, just don't make them more than once

I only have 2 lenses.

Canon 50mm f/1.8
+: I use it for mostly everything, really sharp, amazing depth of field and really cheap
-: Plastic made, looks really "amateur", focus ring is too tiny

Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8
+: Not too much distorsion at 11mm, pretty sharp, love the 2.8 aperture, good quality built, cheapest wide angle lens and I think it's really good!
-: Pretty heavy, not much to say...

I've been into photography / movie making since less than 1 year, I owned a t2i and just updated for the t4i...

I am still learning and I am kinda noob but I love reading forums and website about photography! Learning new stuff everyday

[j1jenkins]

24-70 F2.8 v1
70-200 F2.8 IS v1

Both are great lenses that have been recently updated so you can get the v1 at a bargain or go with the v2 and get the latest/greatest.  My only suggestion is to get a camera with auto-focus micro adjustment to help perfectly focus your lens on your body. 

If you haven't been to www.the-digital-picture.com for reviews, check him out.  It helped me figure out what I wanted to buy.
