Some people like a close range of single focal lengths each one about
2/3 of the other: 24, 35, 50, 85, 135, 200. The advantage is that
with the 1:1.5 ratio of the 35 mm frame you can get almost continuous
coverage if you wish to tilt the camera. Others like to shoot with a
50% ratio of focal length: 21, 28, 50, 100, 200. Probably calculating
that they can move a little if they cannot get exactly the
perspective they want. If you throw a zoom into the mix it may
change things a bit. A 35-70 would eliminate the 35 & 50 of course.
Since 28 is so close to 35 you might want to get a 24 instead of 28
which is usefully wider and since 85 is so close to 70 you may want
to get a 100 and 200. So that might look like 24, 35-70, 100, 200.
If you think the jump between 100 and 200 is two big you could insert
a 135 in there. My light kit is 24, 35-80, 135, 50/2, and a 2X
teledaptor.
