What 3 lenses do you dream of and long to own?
« on: September 25, 2012, 03:29:24 AM »
200mm F2 - oh so sharp, portrait heaven

600mm F4 IS USM II - I know I'll never own this in my lifetime @ 13k but it would be incredible I'm sure for wildlife (came close with a 400mm 5.6 and a 7D = 640 :)

TS-E 17mm - the bokeh on this lens is fantastic, presently don't own a TS-E lens but would make this a first.

Any one of the big whites really, 300 2.8, 400 2.8, 500 F4- not fussed which!
    Tilt shift  17 or 24
 Canon ultrawide lens for landscapes similar to Nikon 14-24

 Sadly I don't think I'll ever be able to justify the cash for one of the superteles but there's always renting!  :)

400mm f2.8L IS Mark II, 500mm f4L IS Mark II and 600mm f4L IS Mark II.

Just look at the attached sample picture and you will understand my longing. Currently I consider myself severely focal length limited (max focal length of 200mm, not counting my 2x converter), so birding is a somewhat restricted area for me.

My three:

  • 300mm f/2.8L IS II
  • 200-400mm f/4L IS Extender 1.4x
  • 600mm f/4L IS II

Actually, I'm almost 1/3 of the way to realizing my dream - I pre-ordered the 600 II just over a month ago.   ;D
