What are your most used lens?

[JPAZ]

If we limit the choices to the 5Diii, my most used (by a big margin):
EF 24-70 f/2.8 ii
Next is:
EF 100-400 mk ii
Followed by:
EF 16-35 f/4
Thereafter (about the same frequency):
EF 70-200 f/2.8 ii
EF 14 f/2.8
Least (only for birding and special stuff):
EF 300 f/2.8 ii which is my favorite lens even though I it does not get much use.
Go figure.

My most used lens is my 24-105 L, followed by my 16-35mm 2.8L mk2, then my 100 2.8L macro then 100-400L mk1.
There's still another half dozen lenses that mostly sit in my bag.

I've got a Tamron 85 1.8 on order and I know I'll be using that a lot for portraits and product shots.

My 24-105 is getting really old now as it's about 8 years old and is getting sloppy in the mechanics, so I'm hanging out for the new 5d4 kit with the new version of the 24-105. I've tried the 24-70 2.8 a few times, but as I use it mainly for events, I really missed the 71-105 bit on the long end.

70-200 f2.8L II by far, over 70%, for indoor sports, events, and portraits.
24-70 f2.8L II about 15% for indoor sports and events.
100-400L Mk II about 10% for outdoor sports and wildlife.
24-105 f4L remains a favorite walk-around and travel lens.

The 70-200 is, by far, my must have lens. It's the best lens for what I shoot most often and I enjoy shooting with it.

Looks like I'm in good company, my most used lens by some margin is 70-200 f/2.8isII, then 24-70 f/2.8II and then the rest way down the line in terms of % used.

The indications so far could have been quite predictable, the 70-200 f/2.8isII is such a phenomenally classy all-rounder. Don't leave home without one!

As expected the 70-200 f2.8 IS II is high on many peoples lists but, primarily because of Portrait/Wedding/Sports. Does anyone heavily use this lens for other things? Landscape, wildlife, etc?

It is my wildlife lens, usually with a 1.4X TC. I would like longer, but none of the options suit me. Yeah, I know - lots of options - but they are either zooms, expensive or old designs.

In number of images, over the last two years, the 200-400 f4L IS 1.4x wins, with the 600 f4L IS II (with or without extenders) on a clear second. Third is 24-70 f2.8L II. This is primarily due to the fact that I use max fps a lot with the longer lenses.

In number of scenes the 24-70 is a clear winner.
