for prime lenses, 85 1.8 and 100 2.0 would be disapointing if you go into macro photography.
100 2.8 macro would give you the best mix of portrait and macro specially with full frame.
for crop, its a bit on the long end but still provide great protraits but u make have to move further back
then a 50 1.4 would be good for crop portraits and by far better in macro than 85mm. extention tubes can expand your capability with the 50 as well

for zooms 10-22 for crop when you want to shoot landscapes.
16-35 for full frame...although if thats off the menu 17-40 would do.
70-200L2.8IS would be ultimate portrait zoom.none IS would do...f4 is just not the same but will do if 2.8 is off the menu.

with these, you will have enough to keep you happy for a long long time...

naa koy question.... kay nag email na nako si santa clause kay hapit nga Xmas... so mangayo kog tambag unsa nga equipment i need.. para ma enumerate nako ngadto nya sa akong email hehe

i only would like to shoot portraits, macro shots, and occasional breathtaking landscapes when i'm traveling...
just something for a photograph noob kanang Canon lang, what do i need nga body/lens/etc?

any advice?

something that's good for portraits, landscapes, and macro's? naa ba?
