"Go with the 17-55mm f/2.8."
"I second the 17-55mm it's my main go-to car lens."
"I got my 55-250, make sure to get the STM version, for about the same price and it's one of my favourites."
"I tried the 400 5.6 L, but found it so cumbersome that I have gone back to my 55-250 STM. It’s so light and tiny. I love it."
"I really love my EF-S 35mm Macro lens."
"The EF 100-400L MK II is amazing optically and worth extra money if you can afford it."
"50 f1.8 (nifty fifty) ef, 24-105 f4 L ef and 10-22 ef-s, all amazing lens that go onto my ef-m-ef lens adapter"
"50 f1.8 (nifty fifty) ef, 24-105 f4 L ef and 10-22 ef-s, all amazing lens that go onto my ef-m-ef lens adapter"
"50 f1.8 (nifty fifty) ef, 24-105 f4 L ef and 10-22 ef-s, all amazing lens that go onto my ef-m-ef lens adapter"
"I bought a Viltrox adapter and a 50mm f/1.8, and I would highly recommend this move. That lens became my go-to lens."

"Also, look for the Sigma 30mm 1.4 Art. Very popular car lens."
"150-600 is still the best bang for the buck."
"I just got the Sigma 150-600 Contemporary for under $600 and love it!"
"Love my sigma 30 f1.4, very sharp and quick focus and compact most of all."
"If you don’t need IS you may want to consider the Sigma 18-50 RF. Excellent optics and very responsive and silent AF"
"I have a Sigma 85mm 1.4 and love it."
"Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Art."
"Sigma 30mm f/1.4 Art."
"I'd recommend looking at lenses in the 28 to 35mm range. Here are a few worth considering: Sigma 28mm f/1.4 Art."
"Sigma 30mm f/1.4 paired with the M50 is what made me fall in love with photography."

Tamron

"I run a Tamron 24-70 2.8 on my r10 and it's awesome."
"Tamron 35mm f/1.8 VC."
"Tamron 35mm f/1.4."
"The Tamron SP45 f/1.8 is brilliant. It's slightly wider and even with the same max aperture, the Tamron 45 is an upgrade over the 50 STM in pretty much every way."
"The Tamron 100-400 did look quite nice."
"I would go with the Tamron 100-400mm with a tripod collar and the Tamron Tapping Console."
"I had luck with the Tamron 24-70 G2."

Rokinon

"Rokinon 14mm is absolute money for me."
"I like my set of Rokinon Cine DS lenses. A couple of them are a bit soft wide open, but really good bang for your buck."
"The 35 is Rokinon's best lens and the easiest to get a good image out of."
"Do you think the zhonygi is worth it for rokinon (samyang) primes?"

"I use a Sony 24-70 on my RS3 regular."
"I use the 24-70, and it seems to manage moving from 24-35 without the need to rebalance."
"I'd say 24-55 it handles no problem."
