Its time to start gather my ultimate set of lenses,

I shot mainly wildlife (long focal length) but I also do studio, landscape and macro

(or in other words, all of all).



I was thinking about :

Canon 10-22

Canon 17-55 F2.8 IS

Canon 70-200 F2.8 IS

Canon 180mm Macro

Canon 100-400 IS





Which lenses will you choose (non unlimited budget but a generous one) for an APS-C (Canon 7D) ?





Thanks !

All those are fine lenses in their own right. But "ultimate" is personal.

I would exchange the 10-22mm f3.5-4.5 with the new Sigma 8-16mm, I think.

The 17-55mm f2.8 IS USM is a very nice lens, I could see myself go for that one.

I would get the 70-200 f4 L IS USM myself, as it is half the weight of the f2.8 lens.

The Canon 180mm f3.5 L USM macro, yes, great lens.

100-400mm, yes, but it is push-pull with AF, so be sure you are ok with that. Otherwise there are one or two XXX-500mm lenses from Sigma that are of interest too. And the non-stabilized Canon 400mm f5.6 L USM.



I would want some primes though. Like the 24mm f1.4 L USM II, 200mm f2.8 L USM, 35mm f2 (as "standard" prime), 85mm f1.8 USM and Voigtlander 20mm f3.5 pancake.



So my list (for APS-C) would look like this:

Sigma 8-16mm DC

Canon EF-S 17-55mm f2.8 IS USM

Canon EF 70-200mm f4 L IS USM

Sigma 50-500mm OS

Voigtlander 20mm f3.5 SL II

Canon EF 24mm f1.4 L USM II

Canon EF 35mm f2

Canon EF 85mm f1.8 USM

Canon 180mm f3.5 L USM maco

Canon EF 200mm L USM

Canon 12mm + 25mm extension tube



Canon EF 24
