p.1 #2 · p.1 #2 · Lenses for FPJ on crop body with FF in mind | |
Hi Sagar, 1st what crop body do you have, this will help greatly...
I've a prime set, non-L's that work well, 28 f1.8, 50 f1.4 and 85 f1.8, day/night/indoor and outdoor, events they are a great trio. However if light is good, it's the 17-40 f4L that is most useful. If you are looking for some distance to not disturb your subject, then the 135 f2L.
Going from a crop body to fullframe and buying lenses targeted for later FF use will always bring you up short on the wide end, when limiting yourself to Canon brand lenses. There are some fine 3rd party ultra-wide primes and zooms I've seen mentioned here on FM but I've none.
For my 40D and 7D, I opted for the 10-22mm because it has good re-sale value. The ef-s 17-55 f2.8 is a great zoom as well and has the same re-sale ability. Both are fantastic lenses, check out the reviews here on FM. But these are crop body lenses and you'll either keep or sell them when you move to FF. I decided any possible loss on re-sale was well worth their usage...
As for the other 'L' primes...all I've in my bag is a 300 f4L IS, and it's not really a PJ fav
Another option might be the new 24/28/35mm primes with IS that Canon recently released, but if you get two of these you are at or over your $1.5k; unless you can find them used.
Good luck choosing, it's always a tough choice...
Jerry,
