Re: Suggestions for building a lens system for 6D

I think that if you plan to get a 70-200 and/or 70-300, then it makes for sense to have the 16-35 rather than the 24-105.

Personally I'd go with:

16-35

70-200 f4

Teleconverter 1.4x

Use the money that you were planning to use on 70-300l + 24-105 to get the 24-70 f2.8

This way you get the best landscape lens in the Canon system, the best 24-70 f2.8 zoom for general purpose/low light/portraits, an amazingly sharp 70-200 zoom and you can get some extra reach with the converter.

This combination would also allow you to have some cash for filters, always useful for landscapes.
