I have an 18-56 and 23, but I can see the benefits of a 11-23, 35, and 55-135 setup. It depends on what you are prepared to discard along the way.

Marac Posted October 18, 2019 Share #22 Posted October 18, 2019 I have the 11-23 (fantastic lens) and also the 35 Lux, it is a perfect combination, anything longer after that 55-135? or a Sigma 45 if you need a low light prime option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not quite that easy imo - the 11-23 is a great lens, but not as intimate to carry as the 23 and not as fast or providing the 50mm equivalent focal length as the 35 - which is why, I guess, that I have, and use them all 🤔 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viv Posted October 25, 2019 Share #24 Posted October 25, 2019 Since I prefer primes to zooms, the 23 and 35 would be a nice set for me. I currently have just the 23. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do apologize for all of the lens postings but I value the great input/feedback that I have received. I’m still looking to add to my 18-56 zoom for the CL. Given the financial outlay I want to obtain as many opinions as possible. So, from a prime viewpoint I’m interested to hear from those of you that have used both of these nice lenses. I received some high recommendations for the 35 from my previous post. The 35 is larger and more expensive than the 23. Also a little faster. Have you found the weight and speed to be be a good tradeoff? I will probably rent them as well but really appreciate the feedback here.. Thanks!! I was in the same boat as you last April and decided on the 55-135mm, an absolutely superb lens that sadly spends 95% of its life in me bag. Unless you do a lot of low light stuff I'd advise thinking long and hard....the fabulous 18-56mm, if I'm honest, is all I need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritDoc Posted August 5 Share #26 Posted August 5 How is 11-23 at its 23mm end, wide open, if compared to 23mm at f4 or f5.6? Thanks. Likewise 18-56 lens, at 23mm, wide open. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Likewise 18-56 lens, at 23mm, wide open. .The 11-23 is fantastic across the board, at 23mm f4.5 it is a little better than the 23, I keep both because the 23 is smaller and has f2-f4 which the 11-23 doesn't have. If I am out on a wet day I can keep the CL with the 23 under a coat, the 11-23 can be a little bulky. That said I use the 11-23 say 60% of the time.
