I am thinking to get a collection of the best primes with some F4 zooms. Somebody with such kind of collection? Do you use the F4 zooms much? Do you miss the F2.8?
My perfect lens lineup would probably be:
- Canon 14-24F2.8L (not out yet)
- Canon 35F1.4L
- Canon 85F1.2LII
- Canon 70-200F2.8LII
But I can't afford it within a couple of years. So I am thinking of selling my 24-70 to get:
- Canon 17-40F4L
- Canon 35F1.4L
- Canon 50F1.8II
- Canon 85F1.2LII
- Canon 70-200F4L
I think this would be a pretty nice lens lineup which will cover a lot.
I use the fast primes mostly because I love the DOF. But for holidays in bright sun and some kind of trips the F4 zooms will be perfect I think.
I do like the 24-70L so I don't know If I would like to sell it. It does the job very well. But I don't use it that much on F2.8. It's a bit soft at F2.8 when I am comparing it to a prime. I want 77mm. filter sizes or less because of my LEE system.
I am not bying lenses very soon right now, but I am just thinking about the future.
What do you think about F4 zooms with the best primes?
