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.

Enjoy.

Nothing that controversial he

17-40mm f4.0 $650 *
24mm f3.5 TSE $1000
50mm f1.4 $300 *
85mm f1.8 $300 *
135mm f2.0 $850 *
180mm f3.5 Macro $1200
300mm f4.0 IS $1100

hmmm that comes to $5400 but luckily my retailer recognises me as a
great customer and gives a 10% reduction accordingly.

Also as luck would have it, I find my bag can hold 7 lenses and two
teleconvertors so I'll chuck in the EF1.4X and EF2.0X as well ;-)

It's actually the lens collection that, more by accident than design,
I'm gravitating towards (the lenses marked with an *). Unsuprisingly the
three missing from my lens bag are the special interest +$1000 lenses.
Perhaps more realistically I'll get a 90mm tamron macro lens and that'll
about do me!
