I think the 6D is one of Can's best kept secrets: Full frame, everything you need and no unnecessary frills. Great piece of kit.Colin

Depends what you like to shoot and your budget. My favourite general purpose lens is the 24-105 L f4. For days when something lighter is preferred I can recommend the 35mm f2 IS.
My collection has been built up over a few years and includes a few second hand examples.Bob

Re: Hello
I recall on another thread you mentioned sport and wildlife, so if you are on a budget, try a Canon EF 75-300mm f4-5.6 III. A bit slow and they won't accept Canon extenders, but some third party manufacturers will work. Available used on auction sites for around £100.
A bit more budget gets you a used 100-400mm L series lens for £200-300.
Quite a bit more budget gets you a used 100-400mm L series MKII, which is pretty much the cream of the crop for £600-1,000. It retails @around £2,000, but shop around and places like HDEW cameras will get you a new one for just over £1,300.
I always prefer to spend my limited cash on the best glass I can and far better to have one or two really good lenses that you really need, rather than spending out on a bagful of lesser quality lenses, most of which you will rarely use. I use all of my lenses regularly, because I "needed" every one of them. The only one I don't is an 8-15mm fisheye zoom, which I bought because I always "wanted" a fisheye. I have used it in anger just three times!
Hope that helps.Colin
