What is your favorite lense and why?

[mommy22]

Lol, why do I want a new lense? Because my hubby agreed that I could get another lol...HAHAHA!

24-70mm 2.8, great all around lens. The only other would be the 17-40mm 4.0 for landscapes/city scapes

I would have to say my favorite is my 50mm 1.4 but I just got my new Tokina 16-50mm F/2.8 from Adorama yesterday. Hopefully will get some time with it over the extrended holiday weekend. I think that it will become my most used/favorite lens.

The Nikkor 10.5mm fisheye is a fun lens that hasn't been mentioned.
It makes you look at things around you differently, and will dare you to shoot things you never thought you would.

50 f1.2, it can make nearly any ordinary subject look dreamy and delicious.

50mm f/1

Its the most unique lens I have the pleasure of using... and a challenge to use.

It's a guy thing!

I'm also quite fond of my Nikon 24-70mm. That's what's most often mounted on the body of the day.

^^^^HEHE^^^^

So, is that lens in the photo a zoom, or just another prime lens?

These are the lenses that I usually carry in my bag. Canon 85mm 1.8 and Tamron 17-50mm 2.8.

it says.. 24-70 in the post.. so I assume a zoom.


<< thinking.. In a technology driven world when things are getting smaller (better), why does the photography world think physically bigger is better?

A favorite in my collection but only gets used a handful of times a year (its a bear to carry and handle):

It's a Sigma APO 150-500 mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM.

HAH!! Best reason in the world right there!

Personally, my favorite lens is my 50mm f/1.8. When I do portraiture, this is the lens that reach for. Plus I don't have any other good portraiture lenses... I'd love an 85mm f/1.4, but... my wife hasn't gotten to the same place that your hubby's at...

Limited funds means that I have a bunch of cheap glass and make do. Of the lenses that I'm making do with the 50mm f/1.8 is a joy and is most often the one I'm shooting with.
