It doesn't have to be all primes, say you have a wide angle zoom instead of a prime.

Holy trinity? Why the mythological reference?

Anyway, the three prime lenses I carry most…

  • Voigtländer 17.5mm
  • Voigtländer 42.5mm
  • Voigtländer 75mm f2.5 Color Heliar (Leica L39 screw mount)

There are other primes I like and use a lot… my other Voigtländers (25mm and 35mm f1.4), or my Nikon 105mm f1.8 AI-S macro… but three is three.

We will allow you an unholy random number of backup lenses Jeff ....

This is one of those open ended threads .... where everyone talks and nobody listens.

If those are his primary lenses then they would be his holy trinity no?

Fair comment Hubert, but my comment is backed up by the number of one liner responses with no reply threads. In other words a question is asked and there are a lot of replies but few discussions.
