Have you ever wondered which lenses you should buy?  There’s a plethora of choice when it comes to lenses (and cameras), and lens companies come up with new products daily (well, not really..but you get the point).  I’m not about to get into the Nikon vs Canon debate…that would be a waste of your time.  Everyone knows Canon is the best [sips tea].  Let’s not waste any more time, here we go:

  1.  50mm f1.8 (or 35mm)  prime- This focal length is great for street photography, indoor, casual and all-around use.  It is absolutely the best value prime lens you can buy that does not sacrifice quality. Buy: Canon/Nikon
  2. 24-70mm f2.8 (or 24-105mm f4) – If I were to take a single lens with me for  a day of shooing (or traveling to India) it would be this lens.  The range is perfect for some snapshots, landscape , architecture, portraits and whatever else you want to shoot! Buy: Canon/Nikon
  3. 70-200mm f2.8 – The absolute best lens ever!  Ever!  The quality is unmatched.  This is a workhorse and weights as much as one, but every serious photographer has this lens. Buy:  Canon/Nikon
  4. 85mm f1.8 – Portraits and head shots are a huge part of photography and the 85mm is the best focal length for portraits.  The shallow depth of field is absolutely stunning and the bokeh is beautiful! Buy:  Canon/Nikon
  5. 100mm macro – If you want to explore the macro life this is the lens you need.  if you don’t, don’t call yourself a photographer!  It’s all about the detail and this lens will allow you to see the world as it was meant to be seen. Buy:  Canon/Nikon
