ONLY two lenses forever! 

Yep. My super minimal wedding kit is the same.

I find myself grabbing the 20-70 more often because having 20 is really really nice - plus it’s smaller/lighter and I usually shoot at 5.6 anyway so f4 doesn’t bother me. I find the 2.8 isn’t fast enough in the situations I find myself. I’d also opt for an 85, but prefer the 1.8 for size/weight advantage.

Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 for client work Helios 44-2 for passion projects

This is versatile on paper but too large for me to take my camera out regularly. 35 1.8 + 85 1.8 does the job, crop in if you need. Alternatively Sigma 18-50 2.8 on APSC is gold if you need a zoom, so small yet still bright. If you need something very wide, you also have a 24mm and 13mm on a phone. The ultrawides are usually bad on phones (but still a big help for skycraper cities like NY, just don't photograph people) but the 24mm main lens is often good.

Tamron 20-40mm sita on my A7CR 95% of time, with Apsc mode it’s basically a 20-60mm, pretty good for my needs.

Solid video, thanks for your thoughts! I've made thousands of photos on my 35 1.8 on a Nikon crop. Now it's almost half a year I switched to Fuji and rocking this 27 1.2. Basically same thing, just a little wider, which I figured I prefer more.

Sigma 28-45 F/1.8 + Samyang 35-150 F2-2.8 ❤️

What do you think of Nikon Zf + 28-400mm f4-8, 14-30mm f4 and Voigtländer 50mm f1, would you change anything to this? What ohoje do you use, would you just use your ohone as the ultrawide and 24mm and the tele with your camera as the no need to change lens setup, had yo checked Sony Xperia 1 VI, its quality is natural and it has a 2X 2:1 macro on the tele lens and not the tyoical crop on ultrawide on other brands of phones, do you think macro is neccessary because often I see people don't make much differences of macro picture from each other and or education purposes to explore the macro world, you can just google it isn't it? Also hey Ryan, my name is Johnny and I'm a freelance logo designer, currently I'm looking for more works, do you love to have a logo for your channel's branding to have a memorable graphic based monogram logo to help your audience recognise and follow your channel easier? I would love to design a photography themed logo inspired by your direction for you! Let me know if you interested to make it happen! :-)

On my Nikon D700, I'd carry the 20-35mm f2.8 and the 50mm f1.4 (If I could have a 3rd lens when traveling, it'd be an 85mm f1.8).

Sony 20mm f1.8 Sony 24-70 gm ii Sony 50mm f1.2 :) complete set 😊

Sony 70-200 F2.8 GM II and Sony 50 F1.4 GM. I love my Sigma 24-70 2.8 ART as well, but I'll just have to make do with the 50 in this scenario.

Zoom wise I would do my 24-70 and 70-200 2.8. Primes only would be my 35 1.2 and 105 1.4.

Excellent choices, I own both and a few others as well. What I personally gravitate to for my client photography work is the 24mm f1.4 GM and the Sigma 85mm f1.4 DG DN. For my travels it mostly depends on where I’m going, but nowadays I tend to bring along the 14mm f1.4 GM, the 24-70mm GM II, and the 70-200mm GM II.

In the last events I used 28-75 2.8 and the sigma 85 1.4 paired with sony a7iv and a7riii and I can do almost everything and dont touch the 50 1.2 gm 😅

I am more of a mix-and-match for the day's purpose. Outdoor festivals: Only one is enough. Tamron 35-150mm Indoor events: Sony 35 F1.4, Sony 20-70 (room and small space) and Tamron 35-150 (key speech, normally in a bigger hall) Outdoors for fun: 35mm F1.4 and 50mm F1.2 (as normally it involves portrait) and 20-70 on the video camera. Tight space due to weight and can only take one lens, I'll go for 20-70.

I like to travel and use the tamron 20-40mm f 2.8 and 50mm f1.4

Here are my two forever lenses for full-frame cameras: 35mm f/1.4 85mm f/1.4 or 90mm f/2 28-70mm f/2.8 80-200mm f/2.8 Here are my two forever lenses for APS-C cameras: 23mm f/1.4 56mm f/1.2 16-55mm f/2.8 50-140mm f/2.8

I do more casual and travel photography in my free time, so I would take a 24-105mm f4 and a 35mm f1.4. It gives you a lot of flexibility to shoot whatever you want on your trips and also lets you shoot envirinmental portraits with nice depth of field if you want to.

Sigma 16-50 f2.8 and a zoom telephoto would be more than enough for me.

35-150, a dream come true. 50mm 1.4 prime and a 17-28. All I would ever need, rest is just for fun

Im currently on 50 1.4 GM, thinking about buying a second lens to get different perspectives in my portrait work. 24-70 gm ii is pricey, but probably will have to get it, since anything blow prime-like quality (tamron, sigma) didn't satisfy me :(

18mm f1.8 and my S Pro 24-70mm f2.8

When I used to do weddings and other events I could get away with a 28/35mm 1.4 prime and a 70-200 f2.8 zoom. These days I do more landscape and sport/nature/wildlife. Three lenses (although I own four/five). A 20mm 1.8G, a 50mm 1.8G, and my two portrait lenses the 70-200 and the amazing Nikkor 85mm 1.4G, one of my dream lenses. Most days though, I use a 28mm (Ricoh GRiii) and either the 50mm 1.8 or the 85mm 1.4 as my walk around street/portrait kit. If I had to choose ONLY two lenses, gun to my head? 20mm 1.8G and the 85mm 1.4G. 100% (although I would miss the 50mm normal perspective)

Sony 16-35gmii and 85 sigma.

Great take, 24-70 all day

You are a hero ❤

Sony 24-70 f2.8 GM II + Sony 40 f2.5 G for street

Lovely video 🙌

Great simple video My dream gear are a Sony A6700, a Sigma 18-50 f2.8, a Viltrox 75 f1.2

For zoom and basically all around 24-70 and 70-200. For primes 35mm for everyday/ portraits and 85mm 1.2 mainly for portraits

For me versatility is key. Therefore I would have to go with my RF24-70 2.8 and my RF100-500. Nowadays I very rarely use something else.

for me : 24mm gmaster & 85gmaster

Canon 28-70 f2 and 135 f1.8

Def a fan!

im a big fan of a zoom thats why i bought tamron35-150 and a tamron 17-28

Only two lenses? 16-25 (not a typo) and 24-70.

100 percent agreed

Hard, but if I had to ... RF 28-70mm f 2 L USM RF 50mm f 1.2 L USM

Sony 35mm f1.4 GM and Sony 70-200 f2.8 GM II
