Shouldn't that lens cap have come with one of those tethers you get on Ebay? Or a handle on top?

Ha, Ha, Ha, Dear Friend Mr. slclick.-------I love your Cap with the big handle on the center of the Cap = Great Idea, But, I must paint the red ring on the edge of the cap too = " L " Lens.
Have a great weekend, Sir.

Hello Mr Surapon.

Have a great weekend also, Sir.

Simple enough since I own the five I would want for most purposes, but I wouldn't "go out" with five lenses. For my favorite genre I really only need one, the 500mm F/4 II.

I wouldn't take a 7D II though, I would take a 5Ds R and the 1Dx II.

 

[nvsravank]

50mm F1.0
17mm TSE
85 mm f1.2
135 f2
200-400 F4

I have 2 of those 5

 

[DeafByDrumming]

My top picks

11-24 f/4L
24-70mm f/2.8L II - in my gear bag
70-200mm f/2.8L II - also in my gear bag
100mm f/2.8L - also in my gear bag
400mm DO f/4 II - probably what I'm getting next but need to pay off the 1DXII first, lol

 

[kaptainkatsu]

24mm TS-E
16-35 f4 IS (already have) Will upgrade to a 16-35 2.8 III if it turns out to be just as sharp.
70-200 f2.8 II (already have)
100-400 II
300 or 400 f2.8

 

[Maui5150]

All I want is my 70 - 200 F/1.2 L IS

 

[Zeidora]

Zeiss 100 mm Makroplanar ZE: my current go-to lens for nature/natural history.
Canon MPE 65: for small objects.
Zeiss 21 mm ZE: great for environmental portraits.
Zeiss Otus 55 mm ZE: optical correction to match my 5DsR.
Canon TSE 17 mm: tempted to get that one, with my 5DsR, I can crop and get a "free" TSE24, as well.

Only the last one is fantasy, the others are part of my core-kit.

There are a number of lenses I'd like that canon doesnt make but could...

1) 500mm f5.6 IS (or a 200 or 300-500 5.6 IS L) - hiking/walk around wildlife
2) 120ish-300 f2.8 IS L - because this would appeal to me more than a 70-200 2.8 IS ii
3) 20 f1.4 L (or 18mm f1.4) - for milky way/landscapes.
4) 200ish IS macro
5) 24-105 (or slightly longer) f4 L IS II - because the mki sucks at 105.


Oh wait real lenses? Boring.

600ii - wildlife
200-4001.4x - wildlife
70-200ii - misc
60mm MP-E - insect eyeballs
17mm TS-E - never used a tilt shift but seems awesome. I'd definitely own one already if I lived in a major city like NYC or Hong Kong.

 

[Ozarker]

1. Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8L MK II / Portrait and general use.

2. Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8L MK II / Portrait, general use, and close in wildlife.

3. Canon EF 400 f/2.8L MK II / Wildlife

4. Canon EF 600 f/4L MK II / Wildlife, particularly "Beach Bunnies" (I would buy this before the 400 f/2.8L just because I think it is the better way to go if I couldn't swing both lenses dollar wise.)

5. Canon EF 135 f/2L / Portrait (Such a nice lens!)

I do not own the 400 or 600 listed. I'd really like to. I do own all the others listed and cannot fault any of them in any way.

Canon "L" lenses are remarkable, at least the ones I have are. So are the cameras.

When I started getting interested in photography as a hobby I had no idea which brand to go with. I did, however, notice all the big white lenses on the sidelines of sporting events. I figured out they were all Canon lenses and used that connection to choose Canon. Canon gear has been very good to me.

I don't ever look at Nikon or other brands. Why torture myself with specs and worry? It is pointless to me. What I have suits me just fine. I don't worry about DR, who has a better sensor or not, blah blah blah. Canon gear just works and I am not nearly skilled enough to outgrow what I have any time soon. Hooray for Canon! And hooray for those on this forum who have given me great advice!

 

[mistaspeedy]

The world's most expensive lens at 2 million dollars... Leica 1600mm @ F5.6

But I'm sure this lens isn't bad either. Zeiss Apo Sonnar T* 1700mm, f/4:

Or if we need some low light lens, the Carl Zeiss' 50mm Planar f/0.70

 

[rbr]

14mm f2.8 L II (smaller than 11-24)
16-35mm f4 IS L
100-400mm IS L II
400mm f4 IS DO II
800mm f5.6 IS L (prefer over 600 f4. I have used 600 lenses with tc's most of the time and don't need the f4. It's easier and quicker taking a 1.4x off an on an 800 than switching between a 1.4x and 2x and messing around with their caps)

with a 1DX and a 1D Mark4 (over 7D2). I currently own all 3 and the 7D2 sits at home on a shelf.

5 real lens that I don't own

17-40L 4.0

35 1.4l

300 2.8l

135 2.0l

70-200 l 2.8 mk2

I have most of the lens I really want to use the 17-40 intrigues me as I feel its the walk around lens I need for my 5dmk3 sometimes fantasy choices is what in your vision of the art

Wow, really? You'd go out just with the 500?

I'd always take at least one shorter/wider lens with that. Usually I carry 3-5 lenses plus extenders, but I'm a glutton for punishment.

 

[Pookie]

All I want is my 70 - 200 F/1.2 L IS

Don't forget the sherpa to carry it...

With six it would be easier to choose but my list would be

2) 70-200 f2.8 II
3) 200-400 f4 x1.4

One more lens and it would be a 16-35 f2.8 II or possibly the 11-24 f4
