your goto everyday lens and why?

[CANONisOK]

Without a specific or specialized need in mind, my go-to lenses are either:

[Zoom] 24-70 2.8 ii - Nothing bad to say about it. Covers a very useful range of FLs. Great IQ. Weather-sealed.

[Prime] 50 1.4 - I like having the low-light shooting capability of this prime and the FL & MFD are versatile. Although I'd love to have the weather sealing of the 1.2, I've yet to pull the trigger on it due to the mixed reviews. If I could find it as cheap as I got my 85 1.2 I'd buy it in a heartbeat!

24 mm TS-E for my line of work (landscape). Tilt and shift functions extremely useful, extremely sharp, only con it is not weather sealed and that becomes a problem in the weather we usually encounter.
