You have a 7d, you can have any lens for the week what would it be?

You have a 7d, you can have any lens for the week what would it be and why?

 

[arad85]

Where am I going with it?

 

[Brachytron]

Canon 600mm f4 for birding. Would go well with my 1.4tc to give a rather powerful tele lens. Oh, and some good sunny weather.

 

[DJG]

Where am I going with it?

Totally upto you.. just wondered if anyone had a lens inparticular they would like to use without having to go and buy one

 

[arad85]

I'd love to try the 1200mm f5.6, but that's probably overkill...

Probably one of the narrow DoF 50/85L's

 

[Vertigo1]

Anything?

Canon 200mm f/2, just because I'd love to play around with one

 

[Keebsuk]

I would love to try the Canon 300mm, f2.8, mk2, but it would spoil me as its out of reach atm .

[troutfisher]

17mm TS-e,I hired a 24mm Mk1 and did not have enough time to really get to know its potential

 

[psf150]

EF85mm 1.2f

And see if I can finally nail that once in a lifetime shot I'm eternally searching for, of each of my 100 mph kids!

 

[squishy]

400 f/2.8L MkII

And if it just happened to accidentally end up on ebay I wouldn't have had anything to do with it

 

[LongLensPhotography]

400 f/2.8L MkII

And if it just happened to accidentally end up on ebay I wouldn't have had anything to do with it

this or 600/4. I have no idea what to do with it tough - probably would go into a forest.

 

[Digifrog]

17mm TS-E probably

 

[micloi]

400 f/2.8L MkII as I already did try all the rest for at least a week (except of the 1200mm)

 

[ACW]

this or 600/4. I have no idea what to do with it tough - probably would go into a forest.

One of these two oh that would be good.

 

[vulcan2912]

17mm TS-E probably

Totally awesome lens and probably the reason why I'm waiting for the 5D3 rather than jumping on the Nikon D800.


I wouldn't mind having a go with the 24 F1.4 MK2.

[WilliamC]

400 f2.8 definitely, and get meself off to the resevoir or red kite centre or to a cricket match.

FYI, I once spent 2 weeks very very close to a mk1 when staying in the same hotel as a pro covering the cricket I was attending. It was rather frustrating on the bus to the ground each morning to have this beauty sitting on the seat next to me and never get a go with it. I did touch it a few times though

 

[evo456]

70-200 2.8 is V1 or V2. Though I'll have that with any Canon camera.....

 

[postcardcv]

I'd go for a 300 f2.8 as I have a real hankering for one, though it would probably be a mistake to try one as I'd end up wanting it more.

 

[Robclarke]

85mm 1.2 to see what available light portraits with this are like.

 

[modchild]

I'd like a go at finding a really good quality walkabout lens, so I'd have to pick the 28-300 IS L and see if it's worth saving for.

 

[pablo_paul]

70-200 IS L I have the f4 but would obviously rather have the 2.8

 

[mumrar]

I'll have the 16-35 f/2.8L please.

 

[Flying giraffe]

ohh the Canon EF 600mm f4L, thanks for the offer, do you need my address?

 

[lala]

Canon 200mm f1.8, used one once and it was absolutely awesome, so a whole week would be heaven

 

[cookyboy]

500mm f4, mate has one, great lens, ultra sharp!

 

[philgale]

Already have my dream lens, 400mm f2.8

but if i have to choose i would wait for the 200-400f4 and see if its worth swapping the 400 for

 

[hugues]

28-300 L IS for versatility

 

[Tugster]

Already have my dream lens, 400mm f2.8

but if i have to choose i would wait for the 200-400f4 and see if its worth swapping the 400 for

I have the 400 too Phil, I hired a 200 f2 for some gymnastics and it was amazing...So for a free weeks hire it would have to be the 200mm f2

 

[ikolpdog]

Samyang/Rokinon 8mm Fisheye, granted not an expensive lens but after a week it may never get used again so this would be a great way of trying it out
