Hey guys, what's your dream lens?
Feel free to say 14-24, or 24-70 is 2.8, but I want to hear some specialized ones, like fantasy lenses. Please don't post a whole lot, or re-post rumors, this is just for fun, and don't be ridiculous, canon could get some nice ideas. Ex. 1mm-5200mm f1.2 is usm STM p an cake...lol :)

Mine, canon ef 50mm 0.95 l usm, full metal construction, and 24-70 ii, 200mm f2, and 135 f2 like glass!!!

Sitting on a Leica m design canon ff mirror less camera.
 
Well - my real-life dream lens is the 200-400 f/4 1.4 ext.

And if it were physically possible to produce a 14-35 f/1.4 (is it? - is it just not produced because it would kill the primes?) which was optically at least as good as the best prime in that range, prime-sharp and fast to autofocus I'd be pretty happy not to worry about the four primes in that range. :)

I would think that it's difficult enough to make a 14mm f/1.4, a 14-35 f/1.4 sounds impossible. I think the wider you go the harder it is to make it super fast.

A 50mm lens at f/1.4 or f/1.2 which is sharp at wider than f/2. Can be metal or plastic. Weather sealed or not. Image stabilized would be nice, but not necessary. EF mount.

And here comes the dreaming part:
No more than $500.00 (the price of the Sigma 50, which is not especially cheap).
