Lens Selection for Variety of Shots
Just wondering what size lens, filters and attachments would be required for the following situations: 1) high-energy fashion shot of active sports wear using male and female models interacting physically; 2) power shots of women in business suits situated in a city environment with lots of action around them; 3) Outdoor shot of a model's head on an overcast day.
Cheers,
Stuart

I'd say a large aperture prime lens: 50 f/1.4, 85 f/1.8, 100 f/2, 135 f/2, depending what type camera you're using. 50-85 for a "crop" DSLR or APS film camera. 85-135 for 35mm film or "full frame" DSLR. Longer lenses for medium format. I wouldn't be concerned with filters, but accessory lighting and reflectors are helpful, even outdoors.

Stuart, I sounds like commercial shoots so you should just hire me...JK(sortof) I'd definately invest in the 70-200 2.8IS so you can handhold. The 50, 85 and 70-200 are in EVERY top Pro's bags. the 24-70 is awesome also...I'd also invest in Model Release paperwork since you downtown shoot in gonna reguire it but I'm sure you knew that.
