If you are in my shoes and you have to sell my lenses and leave only one, which one will you choose?

thanks.

Depends on what you shoot, but I think the 24-105 is the most versatile if you could only keep one lens.

thanks mate. how about sell all those and buy the 50L as it's good indoor and outdoor if you talk about focal length?

I am actually eyeing the sigma 50 1.4 and selling the canon. I like the primes for video and low light but the versatility of my zooms. Are you actually selling all but one?

But a 50mm lens will mean lots and lots of things can't be captured because the lens isn't wide enough. Good indoor? How far can you move back? Set your 24-105 at 50mm and try walk around with it. I would think that you would see a number of issues.

as of this very moment, i'm thinking of keeping two, the 135L and the pancake in case i need wider indoor.

I actually more inclined to shoot outdoor more. what do you think?

Why would you want to restrict yourself with only one lens when you own an interchangeable lens system?

I just don't get it whatsoever....

There are a lot of things a 50mm cannot capture. It's all about right lens for the right job...

Might as well sell everything and get a Sony RX1 or the new upcoming Fuji X100s...

"have to sell" normally imply a need to recover money.

mesmerized by bokeh I see, then that 85 is pretty hard to give up too ;)

that's a good option too but the magic of the 135 is different. probably because it's longer.
