Hi,
I've recently started shooting again. My current usage will be a mixture of business and pleasure shooting with a new 6D - purchased with the 24-105 F4 L lens.
The business end of things will be shot outdoors. Mostly fly fishing photos - with important action occurring just before and after dusk. I am fairly sure my requirements will include a mixture of moderate wide angle and short to medium telephoto shots. I'll have lots of other gear and will sometimes be hiking or rowing into remote locations - so the weight and bulk of my photo gear must be managed accordingly.
I've already been out shooting a few times for work and have come up with the following plan:
Primes for low light conditions:
35 F1.4 L - not yet purchased, but I have paid close attention to my last two shoots and this was one of my most used focal lengths. It should cover my need for a moderate wide angle and low light performance.
I figure I'll need two primes to cover the majority of my telephoto needs:
85 F1.8 - just purchased, extremely pleased with initial results of use, light and compact, fast AF, this lens splits the difference between what I believe will be my two money lenses...
135 F2 L - not yet purchased, but many of my shots were taken at full zoom with the 24-105. This lens would give me just a touch more length, wonderful bokehn, and low light performance.
Zooms for general conditions:
24-105 F4 L - I'm still not fully decided on this lens, it is possible that I'll sell it to purchase additional fast primes, but at the price offered in the kit, I couldn't turn it down and am very pleased with its performance so far.
70-200 F4 IS L - I had not considered this lens until recommended by my local dealer. It would cover the majority of my telephoto needs in normal conditions, is reasonably priced, much lighter than my current 70-200 F2.8, and has IS.
While I respect my current 70-200 F2.8, I don't really enjoy shooting with it. The idea of an even heavier lens isn't very appealing.
Constructive feedback appreciated.....
