5D owners - 3 "must-have" lenses

Jun 21, 2007

I'm thinking of adding a 5D (keeping my 30D as spare) and am interested in what you 5D shooters consider your 3 "must-have" lenses.

I do mainly landscape, street, and portraits (50% indoors), and am starting to dabble in flower pics also. I already have the 24-105 and 70-200 f/4 IS, so I was thinking that the 35 f/1.4 (indoor) and/or 135 f/2 (portraits, flowers) would be great on the 5D....

I'd love to learn from your experiences....
