Used Eos Lenses
Set of lenses for Canon EOS 5d?
I’m considering upgrading to the Canon EOS 5D. I was wondering, what would be a good set of startup lenses? I would be wanting a macro, telephoto, and general use lens of course – what would be a good set of those? Also, are there any other lenses i should consider? Usually i’m shooting things on the street, especially macro stuff, but i’ve also been shooting peolpe and events lately, especially indoors. Any suggestions?
When I was considering going to a Canon digital system (I actually ended up with a Nikon D200, incidentally) here is the set of lenses I wanted to get. And I think I had your same basic set of uses in mind:
EF 24-85 zoom, or the step up would be the
EF 25-105L zoom
Then, for telephoto stuff I was hankering after:
EF 100-400 zoom. A friend of mine had one of these and it was amazing!
These two lenses would cover everything that you need, with the possible exception of true macro stuff. For that, I would choose:
EF 100mm macro. I have actually used the Canon 60mm macro lens and was unimpressed with it. But I’ve read a lot of nice things about the 100mm lens.
For my Nikon, I ended up with the 17-55 zoom and the 70-200 zoom. Since mine has a crop factor of 1.5x, it is similar to having a 25-85 zoom, and a 105-300 zoom. It’s a great combination but I think you can do even better with the 24-105 and 100-400.
