Hello there,
I am a happy owner of a Canon 5D MII since yesterday, can't wait to start shooting seriously.
I am still wondering what would be the best choice balancing budget and quality in terms of Lenses:
I can't really own a 24mm f/1.4 + 35mm f/1.4 + 50mm f/1.2 + 85mm f/1.2 ...
But I can certainly buy the less expensive prime (USM EL?) lenses open at f/1.8 or f/2.0...
Compared to the NON L prime lense, is the zoom 24-70 f/2.8L a serious alternative in terms of quality ?
I mean, is there a REAL improvement in DOF quality, bokeh and sharpness if get a 24mm f/2.8, 35mm f/2.0, 50mm f/1.4 and a 85mm f/1.8 instead of the 24-70mm f/2.8 L Zoom?
It is certainly less handy but I would like to know what is the best outfit it terms of quality and budget, your advice is really appreciated. I am not affraid to carry a few lenses in my pocket, but if the only alternative is the L prime lenses, I will be a bit out of budget...
