Desert Island Lenses

[AprilInA2]

We have a surfeit of lenses to choose from these days which is wonderful, but more choice means more headaches choosing.
If you were sent to a desert island, what lenses would you take with you to cover macro, birds, mammals, landscape, and travel ( although on a desert island I guess you ‘ain’t traveling too far!)

If I were stranded on a desert island, I think I'd want my 600 F/4 with me. That way, I could knock out the glass and use it to start fires and use the empty lens barrel to collect rain water

To answer your question in the spirit in which it was intended, you can do a lot with a 600 F/4 and a 100-400

I never thought of that, lenses doubling as a survival kit! Love it!
