For crop I always loved my dirty trinity: Sigma 30, Canon 85 1.8, Canon 200 2.8 L.

Me too -- I have that same set. If that 200 is too long for the OP, a 135L would be nice. I am with the other recommendations though -- the OP can evaluate the FL with his zooms and decide if another prime will fit his style.

HT is personal.

But the most common ones are:

FF = 35, 85, 135
Crop = 24, 50, 85


5D3 | Rokinon 14 f/2.8 | 16-35L II | TS-E 24L | Tamron 24-70 f/2.8 | Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 | Voigtlander 40 f/2.0 | Σ 50 f/1.4 | MP-E 65 | 70-200 2.8L IS II | Σ 85 f/1.4 | Zeiss 100 f/2 | Σ 120-300 f/2.8 OS | 580 EX II | 430 EX II | Fuji X10 | OM-D E-M5 | http://www.mikehjphoto​.com/ (external link)

As I become more educated, I seem to think it is not what others say, it is simply what works for you.


just a few of my thoughts...
