Portraits: 5DM3 w/ 24-105 f/4L
Action: 5DM3 w/ 70-200 f/2.8L IS II
I primarily shoot portraits...so I do not have a second body for sports work.
Now that I have the 100-400 II ... I could see it spending more time on the body than the 70-200 for sports work. I am going to need a bigger bag...

I have a big camera bag. The bare minimum would be 5D3 + 500L + 1.4 and 2x extenders, plus one other lens, probably the 24-105. Mostly though I'll take those, plus another 2x extender, 100L macro, and maybe the Samyang 14mm. If I'm looking for small invertebrates I might take the MP-E and 600Ex-RT flash instead of the 100L, or sometimes I'll take the 85L for low light/super bokeh/portraits. Rarely all of them, if I'm on a big jaunt. Sometimes a tripod, but not often.

For many years my favorite outdoor combo was 5D + 70-200/2.8 but right now I use mostly 5D + 24-70/2.8. I'm in transition from zoom lenses to prime lenses.
In 2015 I want to get back to sports (aviation) photography since the new body arrived (7d II) which will be used with 100-400 and TC1.4

5D3 with 70-200 f2.8L IS II for just about everything I shoot, which is mostly sports, events, candids, and portraits. The 24-70 f2.8L II is the runner up followed by the 35 f2.0 IS. Honorable mentions go to the 24-105 f4L IS and the 40 f2.8 pancake.
The 24-105 is my walk-around lens when I want to travel light (with only one body and one lens). If shooting a sports event where I don't expect to need a short lens, I'll take one body with the 70-200 and grab the 40 pancake for a backup (in case I do need something shorter). The 24-105 and the 40 are good, reliable, utilitarian lenses. But, there's something about he 24-70 and the new 35 that make them more fun to use. They are brighter and focus quicker.
I most often shoot with two 5D3's -- one with the 70-200 and the second with the 24-70. But, I easily shoot more with the 70-200 than all other lenses combined. It has range that is most useful for me and excels in the fun factor.

Looks like I am losing my religion.
The sony a6000 is on its way and with the adapter...who knows, I'll explore.
Shit, why did Canon miss their chance?
Is there somebody out there who'd think that it would make sense to wait for the Canon version of the technically quite mature a6000?
All the EF lenses I have are compatible with the Sony with an adapter.
Allahu akbar.
I'll get me a Sony!

I would also say my favorite lens/camera combo in my bag is the a6000 + Zeiss 16-70 f/4; it is a very capable kit and doesn't break my back. Nice to carry around but does have its limitations. It can however compete quite well with an aps-c DSLR. Note that I don't see any point in adapting EF lenses to this body, best AF performance is with native e-mount lenses anyway. I do have an FD adapter and a Metabones FD mount speed booster just for fun and they give me access to some quite nice FD glass.
However the 5DMkIII is the quality and reliability king and so when I travel and I have to make every shot count it's the 5DMkIII +24-105L and 17-40L that are my workhorses.
