All Time Favorite "Canon" Lens?

[snerd]

So, I noticed a favorite Nikon lens thread........... here's one for us Canon users. What is your favorite all time Canon lens?

Mine would have to be the 70-200L 2.8 IS II it's bad to the bone!

The 24-70L 2.8 II is a close second. The bright, clear colors rock!

The 135L.....I shoot Nikon and have plenty of nice glass. The 135L is magical and is the only lens that makes me jealous of Canon shooters.

Nikon 24-70mm 2.8G with an adapter to Canon camera sorry I could'nt help it

Why the quotation marks?

Bootleg lens? A lens with an adapter? A third party lens on a canon body?

I love the 135L, best lens I've ever shot with.

 

[Didereaux]

Canon 24-105mm L IS USM F4. Pure versatility.

The quotation marks were because there was already a "Nikon" lens thread going. Was that wrong? Is there a suspected conspiracy lol?!

85 f1.2L

Are you sure about that? Seems that the other thread was general, brand non-specific.
Does the fact that more Nikon shooters chimed in on that thread get your knickers in a twist?

Good grief! Wassa matta you people?! From the thread starter in that thread.................

"So I would like to know what lens (fits Nikon) that you would die to have, or already have."

I took that to mean Nikon lenses. Could I have been mistaken? Maybe, I guess. I don't get my knickers in a twist over camera gear. I have a long post-history here, go check it out for yourself.

If ya'll keep being mean to me, I'll make like Derrel and take my ball and go home!

 

[kundalini]

My apologies, if required. The other thread title was non-specific. Both are in the Photography Equipment & Products forum. I have seen the errors in my ways.

I'm gonna take my ball and slobber all over it.

I only ever shot crop-sensors with Canon; the best overall lens I used was the EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS USM. Crisp images, great colours, very versatile focal length range, lightning fast autofocus and a very good stabiliser. Also, not too heavy to handle (unlike a whole day with the 70-200 f/2.8 IS ii).

 

[D-B-J]

If I had a canon FF, the first lens I'd pick up is the 135 f2L. I drool over that lens.

DROOL.

Honestly if there is ONE lens I envy Canon users to have that we Nikon users don't have on the other side of the pond is a 50mm f1.2
I would LOVE for Nikon to have an AF 50mm F1.2 lens.
maybe Sigma will pick up this chalenge and make up an AF 50mm F1.2 lens

I'll put in a vote for the 35 f2 IS, which is on my DSLR most of the time. It's nice to be able to take close-ups of stuff in narrow streets on very overcast days without jacking the ISO to crazy levels, or to get additional depth-of-field. IQ is outstanding.
