p.2 #1 · What Lens for the Grand Canyon

You're kidding, right?!? With your lineup, what could be the problem? We don't even know what kind of image you hope to make!

p.2 #2 · What Lens for the Grand Canyon

The best photo I've ever seen of the Grand Canyon was taken with a 15mm fisheye.

I would never go to a place like that without the following 4 lenses (for FF/5D):

15 fish
16-35L
24-105L
80-200L 2.8

and a tripod.

another vote for the 16-35L the canyon is so wide and is so beautiful when you get a really nice wide shot. Enjoy the canyon

How about this curve ball?

45mm/2.8 TS-E lens and shoot three frames (center, shifted left, shifted right) and stitch them together. This gives a nice wide look, a big detailed file and its very easy to stitch with the TS-E...

If you really wanted to do a good job I would rent a 6x17 film camera...

I recommend you go WIDE, and maybe one fast prime. As a hint you might want to go to outback photography and look at his shots.

You guys do realize this is a old thread? The OP went to the grand canyon in July.

Still, nothing wrong with it since it could be useful for future trips.
