As a landscape photographer, I have owned many different Canon lenses over the years, including numerous primes in various focal lengths.
Lately, I’ve circled back to what has always been my main three ( 24-70, 70-200, and 180 macro) for landscapes. Recently the 11-24 replaced my 16-35.
The 300 was added primarily for grand kids soccer and basketball, though additionally sees action for wildlife. The 200mm is an experiment primarily for high school basketball. The 11-24 besides primarily landscape photography, will be experimental as well for pregame basketball activity (such as the National Anthem in a packed gym).
