I am gathering info for a marketing project im doing, Im trying to help a local shop position themselves a bit better. Please answer and any input would be great.

If you could have any 6 lenses and price was no issue (except for the 1200mm $80K lens) what would they be? If you want to tell me why that would be cool, but Im really just looking for data. The shop Im working w/ generally deals with Canon, Nikon and Sigma. Please keep it to those companies.

Thanks.

Canon 10-22mm F/3.5-4.5
Canon 17-55mm IS USM F/2.8
Canon 24-70mm USM F/2.8
Canon 70-200mm IS USM F/2.8
Canon 300mm IS USM F/2.8
Canon 600mm IS USM F/4

This would cover the full range for me, and are the fastest lenses in each catagory. Hope this helps!

all canon:

24-70 2.8 L
70-200 2.8 L IS
35 1.4 L
85 1.2 L
100 2.8 macro
400 4.0 DO IS (more portable than the other 400's)

then i'd kill myself upon the realization that no day would ever be better than that day

70-200mm 2.8 VR

By the way, which shop is it, seeing as I'm In town I might be able to offer some more in-depth help.

that is the same list the Nikon camp would want if price were no object. ;-)

Canon 14mm f2.8
Canon 50mm f1.2
Canon 85mm f1.2
Canon 100mm f2.8 macro
Canon 70-200 F2.8
Canon 400mm f/2.8

I'd rather have fast, sharp primes than the slower zooms in the equivalent categories.
