So, im planning my lense collection which will hopefully last me for ages and just wondering about some lenses. My budget per lense is about NZ$2,000 (US$1,250 give or take)
For zooms Im aiming at having the,
Canon 17-40f4L,
Tamron 24-135macro, (which i already own)
Canon 70-200f4L IS,
Plus primes. The primes in my setup im looking at for the 50-60 area are
EF 50f1.4 USM,
EF 50f2.5 macro,
EF-S 60f2.8 macro,
Anyone used any of those 3 and got any opinions? Macro is nice but if the 1.4 is substantially better or so i dont mind, all are fairly similar prices (ie within $100). I've been all over Fredmiranda but its all rather similar, no specifics, full frame crops would be helpful). The two macros get me about 2x as close as my tamron currently. Whereas the 1.4 will be the same, but being much faster (my tamron is f4.5 at 50mm, so they are all an improvement really). I do a bit of macro stuff and am coping with my current lense so no gain in getting close doesnt bother me too much.
Also, anyone used the 135f2L? Thats another one ive got on the list as something for sports or so.
Hope that made sense.
