All
our lenses are Canon made. We like the original lenses made
by the Camera's manufacturer the most. Of course we prefer
the prime lenses but they are very expensive, heavy and you
need quite a lot of them. Zoom lenses have a good
versatility and reduce a lot of weight too. Next to our
photo equipment we also have to carry our fishing gear so
lighten load is high on our list. For example our 17-35mmL
replace 20mm, 24mm, 28mm and 35mm lenses.
Our Lowepro Magnum contains the following lenses:
17-40mm -1:4.0L USM zoom
50mm - 1:1.4 USM standard lens
100mm - 1:2.8 USM Macro
70-200mm - 1:2.8 L USM zoom
300mm - 1:4.0 L IS USM
100-400mm - 1:4.5-5.6 L IS USM zoom
Wildlife photography is what we mainly do so our favorite is
the 100-400mmL IS. Like all photographers we have many
wishes about tele-lenses but it is just a matter of weight
and price. Of course our list is far from complete but I
think we have a nice set to be extremely happy with. Our
equipment is growing slowly and you learn by experience and
practice. We have slowly changed to the L lenses and we take
our time for it. We also don't mind to buy a good looking
used lens in our favourite shop.
