Hello, I'm new to this group. What would be THE ultimate lens selection a
Canon?

I lean a bit to the nature/wildlife side of photography, but would like to
build an all around selection of decent glass.

For this exercise, your camera bag can only hold 7 lenses, must have a mix
primes and zooms, and don't just pick all "L" glass. You have $5000 to
build your lens selection.


Ultimate on a beer budget? Forget it. I threw in a 2x TC to
help you get to nature range with the 200.

Okay. (B&H catalog import prices)

20 f/2.8 $390
50 f/1.4 $300
100 f/2.8 Macro $450
200 f/2.8 USM $620 ---non IS

70-200 f/2.8 IS $1600 IS
24-70 f/2.8 $1250
2xII (TC) $265


Leaves you $125 for 'other stuff'
