Primes only.

50 1.8

Lensbaby 2.0 (50mm focal length)

Plan to have an 85 1.8 to add to the complement shortly

I prefer to take the 85mm 1.8, 16-35mm L and if I can handle the pounds the 300mm 2.8 IS L (plus extenders)

Carrying around the 300 is making me stronger everyday :D

I do a lot of hiking. And, I usually take 2 lenses with me.
16-35L and a Macro Lense.
16-35 for obvious landscape shots, and a macro lense, because I sometimes run into a nice flower.

Right now, I have 50/2.5, but I miss having the 100 2.0 macro which I got rid of because of its long reach for my jewelry phototgraphy.
But, 100 2.0 Macro, I think, gives a lot better picture.

my walkaround lenses are the 17-85 and 70-200. somehow both + camera fit quite well into my messangerbag with enough room left over for a 85 1.8 and 430ex flash (those often come with me)


I don't hate macs or OSX, I hate people and statements that portray them as better than anything else. Macs are A solution, not THE solution. Get a good desktop i7 with Windows 7 and come tell me that sucks for photo or video editing.

I normally have the Sigma 24-70 attach to the lens. But everytime I'm out I seem to have different lenses with me.

I'd carry a 70-200 and a prime or the 24-70 and a prime and sometime even just a 50 or the 85.

I will typically take a small group selected for the occasion. Usually a prime or two that is appropriate along with a zoom in the general range. For example, if it an indoor school event, it might be a 30/1.4, 85/1.8 and 17-55/2.8 zoom. If its kids soccer it might be 135/2, 70-200/2.8 and 1.4 TC. It just depends what I'm doing. I rarely take a larger kit.

I do, too, unless i'm trying to sneak in my camera.

Mainly i keep my zoom mounted on my camera, and carry the 17-50 with me in case i'm to close to the subject.

"What type of lenses do you normally go out with"

Only ones that aren't going steady with someone else.
;)

Two zooms: 24 - 105L EF f/4 IS USM and 17 - 55 EFS f/2.8 IS USM

Both on 1.6 crop (30D).

Maybe I'm lazy - I don't like walking to get the right framing, and I don't like cropping. Perhaps this came from a colour slide background for the first twenty years, cropping wasn't a good option.
