Lots of options, if weight isn't too much of an issue the good old Manfrotto 055 is worth a look, solid as a rock in my experience, tho a bit more than £100 once you include a head. I'm sure though there'll be a lot of other ideas too that are nearer budget.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated.

I've got a last-minute work trip to the above locations the next two nights. As I'll be on my own I'll take my camera in case the opportunity arises each evening. Any night time location recommendations would be appreciated, cheers.

Well after *much* deliberation I've taken the plunge and ordered a 16-35 f/4L on good old 2 year 0%. Exciting! Thanks everyone for your help & advice.

Welcome Neil, fellow Nothumberland-er [emoji106] Lots from the NE on here so I'm sure you'll meet some great people and really enjoy the discussion

Thanks all. I've enjoyed just having my 50mm this past week and I continue to like the idea of using just primes. I think I'm decided on a Samyang 14mm, but above that I'm still not sure. The Sigma 35mm Art is so well regarded, as is the Canon 16-35mm f4, they are both very tempting. The...

Thanks all, lots to consider. As I said earlier I mainly shoot landscapes and particularly enjoy low light work. Both the 16-35 f4 and 24-105 f4 would certainly appear to be wide enough for my needs. I'm less sure I will get the use out of the longer end of the 24-105 but that said I'm sure it...

It's a fair question. My 50mm is my first prime and as I said I find it to be fantastic, and you're right that I should consider a 35mm. Too much choice..

A late run on the 16-35 f4! I really love my 50mm prime, and I wonder whether, if I got the 16-35, I'd ever actually miss the 15mm gap between the two lenses. The 16-35 certainly is very attractive and clearly very well regarded, and above the 50mm a further prime maybe would suffice (I don't...

Thanks for the recommendation. I mainly like to shoot landscapes, and low light / long exposure is a favourite of mine so I wonder if the ultra-wide 16-35 f4 might actually be a good shout, with my existing 50 above that then maybe something a bit longer in the future if I ever need it. Food for...

Lots of love for the 24-105! Thanks everyone [emoji106]

Merry Christmas to all :) Well I'm very excited to find a lovely new Canon 6D body under the tree this morning :) And thankfully I have an EF 50mm f1.4 to bring over from my old 40D. But what should I add to it for general walkabout purposes? I'm moving from a 17-50 f2.8 Sigma on the old body...

Sorry, late to this thread. I have the OS version and I agree with others that it is a superb lens. A very useful focal range of course but for me it's the sharpness of the end product that is the winner, just tremendous. I bought mine a few years ago as an upgrade to my kit 17-85 Canon and its...

Me too. Just noticed the eBay US price is $280 not the $122 that original article said. Still, will be interesting to read some reviews of it in due course. Meanwhile it's the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 that I really fancy..

I see Chinese photo gear cloner Yongnuo have just released a 35mm f2 Canon mount prime lens. Details here http://photorumors.com/2015/04/21/the-yongnuo-yn-35mm-f2-clone-lens-for-canon-dslr-cameras-is-now-available/. Be interested to see what it's like bearing in mind the ludicrously cheap price...
