Your favorite lens is?

This is really a tough question.

After some time I settled with the lenses in the signature.
I love 35L as it is a perfect walk around lens. I can do some portrait without too much distortion when I come close and I can always move few steps away to get more people in the frame.
70-200 II on the other hand gives great results and sometimes I really love the compression effect. The only disadvantage as I can see it, is it's white color. I almost bought some black stickers or sleeve for it. I'm actually still thinking about it.
85L - magic.
Sigma 12-24 ...ah, no other lens in this category, serves the purpose especially @12-16mm f8-f11 but not as good as the above mentioned.

I guess 35L is the winner here.

24-105 on a 7D
I like the mild separation of f4, and the reach on a crop makes for my ideal walk around lens.

I would like the FOV of the 40mm on a FF, and it's sharp as all get out, but on a crop it's a tad too tight for my photography.
