My kit? It is all primes.

10.5mm f/2.8, 20mm f/1.8, 30mm f/1.4, 85mm f/1.8, 180mm f/2.8, 300mm f/2.8

Then add two SB-600s, three Qflashes, reflectors, etc--- and it all adds up.

Don't know that I could exclude primes from my lens selection. What is it that you are trying to ask or say with this post?

On my D300 or D200, I use the following:

12-24 f/4
17-35 f/2.8
24-70 f/2.8
70-200 f/2.8

Does a nice job, and covers me for my film cameras as well. Add in the 300 f/4 and 600f/4, as well as a couple of macro lenses and I'm covered for just about every thing I do. I guess I should be careful about saying that, as my wife might try to shut down any additional lens purchases I decide to make!

Primarily the 14-24 f2.8, 24-70 f2.8 and 70-200 f2.8vr with a 1.7xII teleconverter. I added a 70-300vr for lightweight longer reach stuff as well as a 50mm f1.4 for the "just in case" low light and portrait use. Yeah....I admit...I do have and USE a 18-200vr. I have no issues with that lens like some do.

What is the purpose of this thread? I guess I don't understand the question.

The last bag I had when I went out to shoot a friend's bday party was my 17-55mm and 105mm F/2.

Before that I think I went out with the 17-55mm and 70-200mm.

10.5mm. 18-55mm.

Gonna sell the 10-20mm for a 11-16mm. 2.0 Telconvertor. I'm just listing gear because I don't know what the question is.

thanks!

I'm with others in not understanding this thread. You match the 12-24 with the 24-70 and then match the 14-24 with the 17-55

And why not primes? I'm a pro zoom fan myself, but I have and use primes to great effect ... and plan on getting more. My kit would not be complete without it.

So, what is you real question? What are you trying to figure out?
