Bored at work ... What is your favorite lens?

[wgp1987]

Hey peoples. Regardless of brand or format what is your favorite lens (that you own) ???

I only own 2 lenses. My 24-105 f4L and my 50mm f1.8. When i had my 30d the 50mm f1.8 was awsome because it was a makeshift macro lens. Now that i shoot full fram it is wider than i would like and i use it much less. I would say i like the versatility of my 24-105 and right now it is my favorite lens. Sorry if you think this post is lame. Im bored and i have no real photography questions :greenpbl:.

It's a tie. 24-70 F2.8 L and the 50mm 1.4. Both get equal playtime. My 70-200 and 10-20 only come out to play on rare occasions.

I have to say that it's a tie between the 50mm 1.4 and the 85mm 1.8...
And a close second would be the 100mm 2.8 macro.

Actually, maybe the macro is in first...

Man, that's a tough question. My favorite is usually the one I have on the camera at the moment! But, if you were to pin me down and twist my leg and make me say "Uncle!", I'd probably say 70-200 f/2.8 stabilized and a prime 85mm lens of f/1.8 or faster aperture.

Definitely my 100 mm macro. I've only had it for two weeks and it's already my favorite!

Sharpest lens I have found and it only cost me six dollars (USD)

My favorite lenses to play with at work are the tamron 200-500 and the tamron 17-50 f2.8

Right now, probably the Canon EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS. It is a fantastic workhorse and has served me very well every time I use it.

Wow. An official "Honeywell Pentax" body. I'm impressed.

However, I can't determine if it's the screw mount like mine.

"an official Honeywell Pentax."

Did you notice it even has the HEILAND importer/distributor lettering as well?

I would have to say my 70-200 f/4L is my 'favorite' only because it's my walk around lens.

Canon 500mm F4.0L IS is on my camera 90% of the time.

Yes it does on both counts

The only flaws on that particular camera are some minor scratching on the base around the tripod reciever where is has been mounted to a tripod quiet a few times. Other than that it's not even brassing.
