If this were true, what would you choose.

please indicate if you shoot FF or crop.

(I'm hoping this will get me thinking differently)

I'd have to become indie and shoot wildlife on 100-400 on one agency and 24-105 for most other stuff on another. FF.

One lens, for all sites

100-400, for my sanity.

If one lens then it has to be a quality piece of glass.

Nikon 50mm

Weak. I'd go for Canon 14-800 L f/1.2 IS III. Myeah, that should do.

ann · « **Reply #14 on:** July 19, 2012, 20:46 »

If I had to use only one lens for whatever reason/agency - I'd go with Nikon's 24-70mm f/2.8 -
since I use about 80% of the time as it is.

Ah, because I was beginning to think if I could only use one lens, I could sell all the others and go for this one, although I'd need to pay a sherpa to carry it:

Why da hack any agency on the world would to do that???=

Take you shoots/images without any pressure and get relaxed.

I'd use my 5-1000 f1.2 IS L - since we are in fantasy land.

Maybe I could use a heap of cameras with different sensor sizes to make up for the lack of different lenses.

Mine is bigger than yours but of course lighter. Made from nano tubes.

Its a M series canon lens (next in the alphabet)
M series is so exclusive you've never heard of it,
Instead of white it grey, not battle ship grey (N series) but a special shade of grey that is one shade tougher than gun metal grey.

1- 9142mm f0.01 IS M

The IS works by moving the universe around the lens through quantum plasma transpiration.

24-105mm is probably 90% of my shots.

You know yourself, it's all down to what you have, what you take, and what you need.

malamus · « **Reply #22 on:** July 26, 2012, 04:14 »

Yes, I do, but that can be to logical a step in order to be creative. you have to poke the fire in order to generate some heat, if you know what I mean.
