Last time I contributed to this thread, I was using the Sigma FP and three primes. Since then. I’ve been compelled to shoot on the twin evils of Canon and DX format and my lenses have changed too. Still sticking to my three primes formula though. They are…
EF-M 24mm f/2.8 USM
The only native DX lens of the trio, with an equivalent view of about 38mm which is as wide as I need to go. My idea of a good standard lens. Very nice lens, it always seems to add something to an image. Ridiculously cheap to buy!
EF 50mm f/1.8 USM
A full-frame lens that came with the camera when I bought it. 80mm equivalent. A fast, short portrait lens, good as a walk around lens if I’m traveling light. It’d probably get a lot of use if I was more into people photography - but I’m not…
EF 200mm f/2.8 L ii USM
This is the one I use by far the most. 320mm equivalent and used for dog photography and landscapes (yes, really!). Heavy - but lighter than a 70-200/2.8 zoom. An older design of Canon L lens, a bit of colour fringing but not enough to bother me. I love its image rendering and colours.
I’d be interested to try the 200/2.8 on a full frame sensor but I’m over Canon sensors. I’m REALLY over Canon sensors. Someone would need to offer me a mint EOS 5D iv for about £100 before I’d consider another Canon body!
