Re: Best lens combo for baby shots at hospital

You're there for your wife and baby, not photography.  I'd take a minimal kit.  Personally, I'd take the G1X.

Otherwise take the 5D3 with the 24-105. Modern hospitals are reasonably well-lit.  The 5D3 does great at ISO 3200.  So, an F/4 IS lens should be fine.  Wide enough for groups.  Long enough for portraits.  IS.  Life is good.

My first thought was the 50/1.4, but without IS, that might leave you shooting wide-open with razor thin DOF.

Maybe shoot Raw, as the ambient color temp is likely all over the place.

Best wishes!
