I'm new to photography and recently purchased a Canon EOS R7. I'm looking for recommendations on the best lenses to complement my camera. I primarily shoot landscapes, wildlife, and portraits. I currently have the RF 18-150mm kit lens, but I'm considering adding a zoom lens for wildlife and possibly a macro lens for close-ups. What lenses do you recommend for these types of photography? Any advice on whether I should invest in a 70-200mm or a 100-400mm lens would also be appreciated!
