Is there any need to have more than these 3 lenses?

Replace the 14-24mm with the 12-24mm
Canon 7D w/grip, Canon 40D, Canon 70-200mm f2.8 IS L Canon MPE 65mm f2.8 macro; Sigma 70-300mm f2.8; Sigma 150mm f2.8 macro; Sigma 8-16mm f4.5-5.6
Favorably, according to a previous thread on this subject. It led to a certain silent, stoic martial artist-type person using a very large typeface to make his point. I mean, really, really large.

Um, yes. Not everyone cares for a 50mm focal length for any reason.
Isn't that how this whole thing got started?
Um, no?
The only reason that owning a 50 persists is because it was the most common lens to start with. In fact it was the standard budget kit lens back in the day. Now the standard is some cheaper variable aperture zoom lens.
Yeah the whole thread started with is there any reason to own more than three lenses. Nope not really. But owning more that three certainly gives you a lot more options to get the image you want. While zooms are fine, sometimes they just are not as fun to shoot with in my opinion. I still like to compose with my feet on certain days. My primes are also all manual focus glass as well, something else I really like to do as well.
