Looking for some suggestions to expand my lens selection with disney trips in mind.

[nvtsallo]

I have a 5d3 24-70 ii 70-200 2.8ii Sigma 35mm 1.4 600exrt

I Take family portraits, vacation photos (disney) and eventially school functions.

Not sure where to invest next.
70-300l for more reach
2more 600exrt for flash photography at home
100mm 2.8l or 135mm f2 lens portraits and macro
16-35 2.8 for landscape
I know thats a lot of choices but just want to keep expanding and not sure which is the best for vacations and portraits Considering what i have. I am staring to get into wildlife.

Other thoughts were 50 or 85mm l primes. Just want what will give me more creative options for disney. I can always rent at home but I feel you should know you lens before you go so renting is out.

I do have a sony nex 6 so if there is an alternate lens suggestion please let me know.

I fancy adding the Sigma 10-20mm lens for my next trip.

 

[nvtsallo]

So your suggesting the canon 16-35 since the 10-22 would not fit on my full frame body? Can I ask what shots you would use it for?

I just added the 85mm prime and love it. I got the non l cause I didn't want a cannonball off the end of my camera. I wanted a light lens compared to the usual stuff I have on my camera and I think it's great. It has been on my camera since Xmas pretty much. I'm on a 7d compared to ur full frame but I do really like it. Very very sharp.

I will add my next purchase is the sigma 35mm cause I want something close to 50mm and fast. I played with it at b&h a few weeks ago and thought it was very well made also.

I have the sigma 35mm so your suggesting a 50mm?

I have 100l macro and love this lens
I also enjoy using russain helios lens55. It is a manual lens. But it makes wounderful pictures.

Would the 100mm macro serve a purpose at wdw?

 

[littlekidagain]

I would also go for the macro lens. That's the one lens wish I had when shooting in the shops.

I don't know if you need much more for Disney but the 100mm is good for macros and portraits

 

[nvtsallo]

Someone suggested getting another 24-105. Do you think that would be a waste?

 

[jockey]

I think the lens would be perfect for building and scenic shots.

If you're looking for a Disney lens, I would definitely pick up an UWA. How have you gotten by without one? lol! I would also look into the sigma 16 f2.8 fisheye, you can use it as a true fisheye or semi correct it with Fisheye Hemi for a more rectilinear wide shot. I just like to be on the wide end at WDW.

 

[HPS3]

On the Nex, you could also mount the Rokinon 8mm f2.8 fisheye. Its really small, sharp and loads of fun on the Nex.

That is what i thought since uwa would be nice at wdw but it will be the 4th and my worry is it will be crowded for a uwa.

 

[jimim]

I have the sigma 35mm so your suggesting a 50mm?

Ya pretty much cause u r full frame. I would prob buy the l version or the middle. If price didn't matter the l for sure. I know others wont agree but it's just me.

Just not sure what will benefit me more 16-35 or 50mm l

 

[cjstarr]

My vote would be the 16-35.

 

[nvtsallo]

My vote would be the 16-35.

Yeah I want it but i find myself cropping tighter to the kids with the background as a minor part of the pic. Do you have any uwa examples to give me some ideas?

I'm in the market for one myself nvtsallo. I had a 50mm prime but found myself chasing the shot. I would have to back up to get the picture but then found myself having to wait until others that would walk into my shot to move because I moved back to far. It became a vicious circle. Right then and there I told myself that I would not make that mistake again.
I'm looking at the 17-50 f 2.8, the 16-50 f 2.8 or a 10-24 if I can find one of them at a reasonable price.
The only lens I have is the stock lens that came with the Sony a57, 18-55
f 3.5 5.6. You can view 4 pictures that I took with it here:
