Re: Recommendation for a lenses for an EOS 70D - for hostile outdoor environment

Since the 70D appears to be weather sealed I'd say one of the following:

- 24-70

- 24-105

- 70-200 F4IS or F2.8(IS or not)

- a good, but not too expensive filter on the front for the salt/sand (or risk it bare, as you see fit)

But those violate your 'it needs to be compact' rule. If it really has to be compact get something like a 50mm 1.8 or 40mm pancake. (since these are cheap lenses you're not risking too much - except maybe the body). With these you can put the entire assembly in a few ziplock bags in your backpack.
