Your Most Used Lens!

[RC]

Currently own only a crop body and my most used is my 16-35 II. Wide to normal FOV, very sharp and no soft corners. I'm wondering if this will change when I get a 35 f/1.4L (preferably mk II).

 

[rmhowie]

I have a 60D, so it's my Sigma 30mm when I'm shooting stills and my Samyang 14mm when shooting video.

When I get a 5D3 (hopefully at the end of the year) I think it'll be a Canon 50mm f/1.2L.

Other - 24-105

 

[e-d0uble]

In order..
50mm f/1.2L, 24-105 f/4L,100mm f/2.8L macro, 70-200 f/2.8L IS.

Right now, it's the 28-112 f/2.0-2.8 on my Fuji X10!

It's small & lives in my bag all the time, images & moves are great even in low light, & it's a pleasure to use.

And yes, the menu interface is a royal pain & the battery life sucks .

Simple Question, What is the Single Most Used lens inside you camera bag? And explain what you use it for.

My vote - 50mm 1.2L. Its Great does everything from studio work, to photojournalism, to outdoor portraits, to tight landscapes, for weddings, for fine art work, And tons of other stuff.

My 50mm is like an old friend to the frame lines in my brain.

50mil is king. Hey Canon !, could you kindly hurry a bit the release (following your patent on new coating for the 50/1.2) of this low-CA-mk-II baby ? Please.

Most used? 24-105 f/4L IS
Most favorite? 50mm f/1.4

Other. Don't even own any of the three other choices.

Probably the 100-400. It was my first DSLR lens. I shoot big Florida birds and if I go with other people it's the first thing out of the wagon when we start shooting. Unlike the 500 I can handhold it.

 

[solarpos]

24-70 by far. Only flaw? Weight.

 

[kamuscasio]

My 50mm lens!

Previously the f1.4, but now the 50L.
It's sharp, fast, and perfect for daylight/night/everything!

 

[jalbfb]

24-105 f/4L

 

[jdramirez]

Horses for courses. If I'm out on a hike with plenty of light, I use my 24-105mm L. If I'm going to be inside in low light conditions, I use my 50mm f/1.4. Before I had either, I only used my 50mm f/1.8.

 

[Heidrun]

Mu used lens is until now ef 24-70. But the more i use Samyang 14 mm f.2,8. The more i love this lens. But shame on Canon. Why cant they come up with a 14/12-24 f.4,0 L is

 

[friedmud]

Well... it was a 17-55 f/2.8... but just last week it "bound up" and won't zoom any longer (it's been headed down hill for a while... something came loose on the inside and the zoom mechanism has been "loose" for a while... time to send it in).

Luckily I just picked up a 70-200 f/4 IS L. No better way to get to know a new lens than to _have_ to use it for everything ;-)

I'm currently sitting on a plane headed to my next photography destination... the amazing wilds of _Mississippi_... ;-)

 

[ksagomonyants]

Canon 135mm f2 L

 

[h4ldol]

35mm 1.4 is my walk around lens. I do hope to get a 50mm 1.2 at some point though.

 

[well_dunno]

Mine would be in following order:

24-105 f/4
100 f/2.8 non-L
70-200 f/4 IS

 

[kad]

EFS 17-85. It lives on my 60D and gets used for just about everything. I've multipel other lenses, but they are all specific purpose lenses (Macro, extreme telephoto, etc).

[AnselA]

tie 17-40mm L and 135mm f/2.0 L

 

[Zo0m]

I would say the Canon 50/1.8 II lens with my trusty E-P2 (they fit surprisingly well together). It's very mobile and I almost always carry it with me. For serious shooting I mostly use the Canon 24-105L on a 5D though...
