Just for fun - What two focal lengths for WDW?

[Ratpack]

If you had to choose only two focal lengths, like prime lenses, what two would you choose and why? We all pretty much have walk around lenses that cover a large focal length range. But what if we could only choose two, what would they be?

I think my first would be a 50mm 1.8 for closeups, parades and night time and the second would be 105mm 2.8 for those longer reach scenes.

Ihave included a poll of ranges so others can see the most popular ranges and you can vote for two ranges.

Your poll only starts out at 20mm. Last night my darling wife ordered me the Canon 10-22mm for my birthday and a "we finally got ourselves out of debt" present. Eventhough I haven't used it yet, a lot of people who have one say its one of their favorite lenses. I don't know if you can edit a poll after you've posted it, but I would be curious to see if anyone votes for UWA.

The other question is should we express our votes in 35mm equivalents? You might have a full frame shooter say that they really like a 35mm and a crop shooter say they like something wider, like a 22mm when in reality, they have the same field of view giving them essentially the same composition.

Sorry if I'm being picky. I really like this idea for a poll and am interested in seeing the results.

I tried and it would not let me edit the poll. Sorry, I forgot all about the focal lengths below 20mm.

As for the crop factor, I was just thinking of the actual focal length that the lens was listed as, for example my 50mm is really a 75mm on my D50 but I am counting it as a 50mm.

As much as I love my 50mm f/1.8, I think that a 24 or 28mm f/1.8 would be better as its closer to the non croped 50mm size. Better for the indoor shots and works for portrait type photos. I also went with the 70-90 range as I love my Tamron 90mm f/2.8. With the crop is 135mm which is very good and its tack sharp and has a 1:1 Macro. Though like Jann said, I would like a longer reach for Animal Kingdom. But I could definately work the rest of the parks with a 24mm and 90mm only.

Good idea for a pool/thread. Should be interesting.
