brehs what are your fav lenses?
Do you prefer prime or zooms?

35mm and 85mm are my 2 favs and i can get like 95% of the shots I want with those two
I only use my zoom lens when i travel


Prime all day long.
35mm and 85mm are the two I use the most, about to upgrade my 85mm actually ..

Bought a 24-70mm 2.8, don't use it a ton but it does come in handy when covering an event (it's embarassing when you gotta keep switching between lenses). I also use the 24-70 when roaming the streets, can get a bit of everything with it.

Out of my arsenal my favs are my 135mm f/2L and 70-200mm f/2.8L
As for primes or zooms, I like them both, don't have a preference. The 135 is incredibly tack sharp and the 70-200mm I can use as a walk around, portrait, and sporting event lens. They both work on my crop and FF bodies when I wanna shoot both.

35 and 85. Mainly 35mm for how i shoot.

Ever since I started using 35mm, it's never left my side.

Love the bokeh on the 70-200 2.8. if I shot more sports I would definitely invest in one .. loved using it on my canon FF!
