[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 189447, member: 1061"] I always carry 2 lenses with me: * 24-70mm * 70-200mm That will cover about 95% of shooting situations. Throw in a wide-angle lens and maybe a 35 or 55mm prime, and you'll be able to nail just about anything that comes your way. But that's 4 lenses instead of just 2...for that last 5%. Doubling up on lenses for that last 5% isn't really ideal. A good exercise is to scroll through your image library and look at the EXIF data. Find out what ranges you usually shoot at and pack your gear accordingly. I think having at least 1 "walking" lens and 1 telephoto is a must for anyone. If you're someone who likes to stop and shoot at bugs and flowers, take your macro along too. If you just got a new lens to play with, take it along and force yourself to use it. Sometimes physically moving in closer for shots is better than a telephoto. [/QUOTE]
