Tracie maybe check out a Canon forum for their fs threads, I've seen good deals on nikonites for Nikon stuffs.

Ok so thinking about the 6D now. What two lenses would you guys recommend? I love shooting landscapes and need something to capture the kiddo's cute moments.

Testing out my new filters, still perfecting the art of white balance

Very nice!

What settings did you use and what time of the day was this?

24-70mm for everyday use. 24-135mm if you're tight for money.

Tokina 11-16mm for landscapes.

This was shot at F8, 30 seconds with a 4stop neutral density and was around I would say 3pm if I remember correctly.

To elaborate:
So I was thinking of getting the body only and buying two lenses to start off. My thoughts are on the 16-35 f/4L and the 100mm macro f/2.8L. Figured I could get away with using the 100 at track events. What would you recommend? I really want to keep the IS on both if possible. I shoot a lot of family events in small spaces, events out at COTA, landscapes, and flowers. I also want to get back into astrophotography at some point so I'm not sure the f/4 will be enough. I used the 16-35 2.8L before and it was great but so heavy and no IS.

TreeSemdyZee · 04-04-2016, 06:10 PM

I'm not sure if it fits well with what you're wanting, but the 70-200 f4L is a fantastic lens and is one if their cheaper L lenses. Very sharp.

the "kit" 24-105L lens is actually pretty legit and versatile. 24mm on a FF is pretty darn wide. I shoot with a 6D and love my 17-40L, didn't want to dish out the extra $$ for the 16-35L. If you're looking for a prime in the 100mm range, I would suggest the 135L, it's one of canon's sharpest lenses and the bokeh it produces is amazing at f/2. Otherwise I'd suggest any variation of the 70-200L based on your budget. I shoot with the 70-200 f4 non IS, which is the cheapest one and I love it! Produces amazing portraits and still shots for car shoots
