depends. If you're cool with using zooms i'd recommend a 70-200 for most shots and a 24-70 for wide shots.
If you'd rather shoot primes i'd recommend 35, 50, 85, and 135 (if you're on canon) / 105 (if you're on nikon)
I always have a speed light set up for off camera just in case i need it or want to use it to darken a background.
I tend to use zooms and i have 85mm and 100mm primes.

Can anyone explain the use of exposure compensation when shooting manual? I don't get it and keep coming across it in articles.
I get how it works in the auto/semi-auto modes when you're adjusting what the camera thinks is the right exposure - but why wouldn't you just change either the f-stop or the exposure when shooting manual?
Am I missing something? Been bothering me for a while.

Doesn't do anything if you're shooting manual. I shoot in aperture priority and use the exposure comp wheel to change the shutter speed if I need to under/over expose.

Because there are f/stops that work better than others.
for example:
by changing the f/stop from a 2.8 to a 5.6 might throw the bokeh or look of the image by having more things in focus that intended.
of by doing an f/stop switch you might find that you went from the entire image being sharp to soft edges.
that's the gizz of it ...
when you are shooting manual you can control everything you want .. just because the camera tells you it's properly expose doesn't mean that's what you want the look to be!

Thanks man, I shoot with a Fuji X Pro 2. Almost all the shots I post on here are with the 10-24 or cheapo 50-230. If light allows for it, I try to shoot at f11 or f8. Those Big Sur shots were with a 10 stop ND filter so I could get 30 second exposures.
Thanks, it's crazy being out there in the rain. You're basically walking around in a big *** cloud.
@ksteezy that's insane for ISO 10k
Finally taking a crack at developing color film. Have a backlog of a half dozen rolls. Brace yourselves for more Mt. Tam pics

For that was the 24L
The mk4 is gonna change the game for my wedding season, I can now manipulate low light conditions so much better!!...if I can shoot up to ISO 26000 with pretty much minimal noise, the mk3 handled noise like crap, anything passed ISO 3200 was yuk

Killed it yet again man! Amazing amazing amazing! What time do you usually head up to marin to catch the fog rolling in like that? Also are you using a B+W nd filter or something else?
ksteezy
With the iso cranked up that high I was wondering how do you have so little to no noise. With my 6d anything past 2000 is :x unbearable to look at.

Thank you sir! I try to get up there in time for first light, around 6:30. I use a B+W 10 stop and 6 stop. I'd love to upgrade to Lee filters one of these days though. Been on the fence about adding a circular polarizer to the bag as well.

^Nice! Seems like a lot of people ended up going.
Wow you are really dedicated to getting up there. I still need to get an nd filter which is why I asked. I recommend getting the polarizer just to bring out the sky but I mainly use it for reflections.
