Just got myself a 5Dc, I have £500/$750 to drop on some glass, what are my options?
Was thinking the following:
24-105L
17-40L + 50 1.8
Samyang 14mm + Tamron 28-70
Before I decide though, am I missing anything better?

Feb 03, 2013 12:14 | #4 Yea, I do like all three... that's my bug issue Haha. I was quite set on the 24-105 as its L glass and would love the red ring but is that really the end all be all or what ever?

Feb 03, 2013 12:48 | #6 Yes I did have more coverage but I was finding my old setup (camera) an issue for low light noise. I don't need to recreate my range, I just want an all round decent setup really.
