I'm planning on going on a tour of America next year and want to take a maximum of 3 or 4 lenses for my Canon 50D to cover every situation, landscapes, portraits, wildlife safari, night photography etc. I need enough options to be totally flexible.
I'll be buying the lenses, possibly second hand and selling them on here when I get back so I'm not too worried about price. This is what I'm thinking so far.
EF-S 10-22mm
EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II OR EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS
Nifty Fifty
EF 70-200mm f2.8L IS II
Canon 2x teleconverter
I reckon that's enough to be carrying around with me so don't really want to take any more than that. The questions is, which of those standard range lenses should I go for?
Ideally Canon would make an L range lens that went from 17-70mm, but they don't so I'm going to miss out on a bit of range somewhere, but where is best?
