1) 70-200 f/2.8 L (one of the various ones)
2) 135mm f/2 L aka "the cream machine"
3) 200mm f/2.8 L
4) 85 f/1.2 L <--- amazing on full frame: Savannah, GA Photowalk - 4/24/10 - JPMcG Photography
5) 35 f/1.4 L
maybe later on 200 f/2 L and 300 f/2.8 L, i could probably just get a 100-400 and get what i need (for track photo's) but primes are better/baller  |
1) the 70-200f2.8 L IS II is a great lens. The older 70-200f2.8 is no where as sharp
2) I use the 135f2 and the 200f2 for my beauty work. Both great lenses. The 135 is not too expensive and, as it has been around for a while, is available used at decent prices.
135f2.0
200f2.0
3) 200f2.8 is a sleeper. Not too popular (we don't sell very many) but a great lightweight lens. I don't use this as the new 70-200 is almost as sharp and has great IS. Also, I use the 200f2 a lot.
4) 85f1.2 is also a great lens. If you can find a used original model buy it. The glass is exactly the same as in the mk II version. The main difference is a faster focus motor (it is still a rather slow focusing lens)
5) 35f1.4 is a great lens but you should look at the new 24f1.4L It's sharper with better image quality at the edge
