What lenses do YOU use.

Canon
50mm 1.4
85mm 1.8
Use the above two 99% of the time
I also have a cheapo 22-55mm just in case I really need a wide angle.
And I have a Lensbaby v1 - Haven't used this one much yet, though I got it a while ago. It's a fun lens to play with.

I used to own several zooms, but sold all but the 22-55. I may pick up a nice 100-300mm at some point, for those rare times when I want a long telephoto. The one I had was wasn't a ring motor, and I couldn't stand using it.
 
I am a Canon user:

Canon 50mm f/1.8
Canon 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5 USM
Canon 18-55 kit lens

My next purchase is going to be the canon 70-200 f/2.8L
 
Almost everything canon has made for the EOS system at one time or another, including the quite rare and really horrible canon 50 1.0. But if I was to pick one lens I use over all its the 70-200 2.8.

I've heard that it is a weakling in the AF area.
 
For my 300D I have:

The kit lense: Canon 18-55 mm f3.5-5.6
Canon 50mm 1.8 (love this one)

And at my disposal, I also have my boyfriends lense...I think it's a 70-300 something or other...it's Canon, too.

I am not fond of the optics either. But ok its not horrible but I like the 1.4 better. Unless you really need 1/6th of a stop more then the price is/was not worth is. I bought it for consiterbally less and its more of a collectors item than a lens for me.
 
woohoo...
I got a late Xmas present to myself yesterday. The 50mm f1.8 lens is now replaced by a 50mm f1.4. I really like the f1.8 and from people tell me... I'll love the 1.4
 
I use a Cannon 350d mainly
99% of my work is automotive based and nearly all of it is drag racing
For the top fuel (300+mph)
I use a 600mm f4.5 lense
Pro street (<170mph)
70-300mm f4.5 Cannon
For anything elts
28-70 mm f2.8 Stigma
 
Contax 167 with f1.7 50mm Zeiss lens.

Nikon F3HP, FM2n, FM3a with Nikkor f2.8 20mm, f1.2 50mm, f1.8 105mm, f2.8 180mm

Yashicamat (using this quite a lot now)

Contax T2, T3

Anything really.

I'm just debating whether to buy a new lens for my E300. I'm just using the cheapie it comes with. But the 3/4ths lenses are ferociously expensive in the UK - two or three times what they cost in the US.

Is it still cheaper to buy the Olympus lenses from the US if you factor in currency conversions and import taxes?

I bet there's a few American members on here that would be willing to assist. :)
