What 3 lenses do you dream of and long to own?

[dirtcastle]

TS-E 17mm L
MP-E 65mm
200 f/2 L

This year, I was able to acquire my first dream lens: the 85mm f/1.2 L. But as with so many people who can afford such lenses, I find myself lacking the time to use it enough because I'm always working. It's a vicious circle.

Even if I had the money for a 200mm f/2 L, I don't think I would get one because I'd be paranoid about damaging it. I wouldn't be able to relax while I used it. It's just too precious. Hell, I'm already paranoid with my 85mm f/1.2 L.

24-70 2.8L II
200 2.0L IS
500 4.0L IS II

- Noctilux 50mm f/0.95 (need camera also )

- 35mm f/1.2 lens (needs to exist first) so..

- 35mm f/1.4 L II

Even if I had the money for a 200mm f/2 L, I don't think I would get one because I'd be paranoid about damaging it.

If u had the money for a 200mm f/2 youd also have the money for getting it repaired. Plus the lens is built very sturdy

EF 24-70L II
    135 f2

[hambergler]

Canon 200-400mm F4L 1.4TC

Canon 400mm F2.8L IS II

Zeiss Distagon T* 15mm f/2.8 ZE


I would put 24-70 F2.8L II on there but its on the way

Well, I had the money for an 85mm f/1.2, but I still worry about scratching that rear element.

Honestly, I don't even want to be so filthy rich that I don't worry about thousand dollar scratches. It's a lot of money for a lens, and I will always respect that. Plus, the 200mm f/2.8 or the 70-200mm f/2.8 are sufficiently amazing to suit my needs.

But, yes, it's still an enticing lens to dream about. ;-)

Any three of the big L's. 400mm, 500mm, 600mm.
Either a 17mm Tilt shift or a 24mm tilt shift.
Either a 14mm L or 8-16mm fisheye....

In addition to what I own...it would be the:

24 1.4L
85 1.2L
300 2.8II

Those would be the most practical additions to what I do.

[Smurf1811]

TS-E 17mm
EF 24mm II
EF 500mm II

[BrandonKing96]

Tough one.  As I don't have a lot of gear...

Canon 70-200 f/2.8L IS II (simple one, but when I use it at other places its a hell of a dream)
24-70 II (I'm getting one soon.. so a 14mm f/2.8L would suffice)
Canon TS-E 17mm f/4L 

Mine's a pretty basic one.  If I got enough jobs I could easily achieve that.

The 200mm F 2.0L IS, 300mm F 2.8L II IS, 400mm F 2.8L IS II would all work just fine for my kit thank you very much.

realistic set:
TS-E 17mm f/4L
MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro
EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM

imaginary set:
EF 12-24mm f/4L USM
EF 35mm f/1.2L USM
EF 50mm f/2L Macro IS USM

[mrsfotografie]

These are too expensive but nice to have...
Canon 200-400mm F4L 1.4TC
EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM

Thinking of the Samyang 14 mm as it is much more sensible, budget wise.

To get a wide angle option on my 7D:
EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM or (more likely) Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM

[Razor2012]

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.
