Hello Everybody,



Thanks very much for the replies and advice.



I could probably stretch my budget a little, let's say maybe towards 750 euro, but that depends how much I get for my 17-40mm.



At the moment I have the following lenses:

EF 28mm/2.8

EF 50mm/2.8

EF 17-40mm/4.0

EF 70-200/4.0

Tamron 200-400mm(bought for just 125 euro)



I am not to keen on this lens, because it's not worthwhile to use this lens isntead of the 17-40mm at 28mm. I am planning to sell both lenses. I also have the 50mm/1.8, but it has never been used. It came with the camera when I bought it(second hand).



Distortion can be a problem with flat horizons like seascapes when the horizon is in the top or bottom of the frame. Of course I can correct this, but I try to do as little post processing as possible, due to the limited amount of time I am able to sit.







Best wishes,



Reinier

Hi Reinier,



If you want as little distortion and field curvature as possible, I reckon you will have to go the prime route, probably something along the lines of 24 F/2.8, 50 F.1.8 or F/1.4, and 85 F/1.8 or the old 100 F/2.8 non-L macro.



If you can get over some distortion, and I know it is out of your budget, did you consider the 24-105 F/4L yet? Very good for a stnadard zoom on the 5D, and in good, used condition a little over your current budget (around € 700).



Kind regards, Wim
