If one lens, 50mm; If two lenses, a 35mm and an 85mm; If three lenses, a 28mm, 50mm, and 100/105mm; If four lenses, a 24mm, 35mm, 85mm, and 200mm. Those are the most common combinations used by photographers who use primes. My advice would be to carry (even to own) as few lenses as you can get away with. Pick one set and use it for five years, then rethink. --Mike J. P.S. One of the biggest impediments of amateurs learning photography is that they typically own and use too many different lenses. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
