What’s your “Lens Trinity”?

A book I've been re-reading called "Canon Lenses (From Snapshots to Great Shots)" mentions what the author calls the lens trinity.  This is when photographers develop an affinity for three lenses: a wide angle, standard and telephoto.

The book listed the following lenses as it's lens trinity.

For full frame cameras:

·         16-35mm

·         24-70mm

·         70-200mm

 For crop sensor cameras:

·         10-18mm

·         18-55mm

·         55-250mm

 I use full frame cameras and, since I shoot a lot of wildlife, my lens trinity is: 16-35mm, 24-70mm and 100-400mm.

I was curious, regardless of brand of camera one uses, what lens trinity other photographers here have and why.

An early morning sunrise over Kent Lake. The sky was cloudless and the sun rising turned a dark sky into a vibrant array of yellows and oranges which reflected on a still lake.
