Your Most Used Lens!

[azf]

My most used lens, by far, is 70-200/2.8L. According to LR I use it more than the three next most used lenses combined. It's such a workhorse that I actually have two. I kept the older model (without IS) as a backup. And to be honest, I just couldn't trade it in, it has been so reliable in delivering excellent images that I just love it. Although I have 1.4x and 2x TCs I never use them with these lenses, I just switch to 7D if I need the extra perceived length. Most of the time I'm shooting them wide open, so I'd rather not lose the stop(s) with TCs.

In the department of lenses that I really like but don't use that much, one is above others: Canon 85/1.8. I've had one close to 20 years. I just like the way it is flawed. There's plenty of lens flare and other funky stuff going on, but it has character and it's a joy to handle. It just keeps on surprising me.

And I suppose if I had 135/2 I'd really like it and use it a lot. I kind of argued myself out of buying one, as I expect there to be IS version at some point for double the price...

I've been a 50/1.4 guy for years, but my 24mm TSE II has taken over my life for the last few months. Even finally got my first zoom (24-105) since then and it's only displaced my TSE less than 5% of the time. Shifting is deeply deeply addictive.

Canon 70-300mm f4-5.6L is usm

And its not even my favourite lens. According to lightroom I've taken craploads of photos on it, but a lot have been machine gun fire with fast moving objects.

My favourite is my canon efs 10-22. I have a 7d (and I adore it).

I use my TS-E24II a lot - even as a straight prime it is fantastic

70-200 F2.8L II and my 50mm F1.4 are by far my most used.

On my 40D, I use the 70-200mm f/4 lens the most. I really love it. It's great for capturing action from a distance; sports, family members, etc.

On my 1V, I mostly use the 24-70mm f/2.8. On this body it's great as a walk-around lens and the aperture helps when using slower film.

My 50L, followed by my 135L.

All 3.... Ive been shooting sports lately so the 70-200mm is mounted 90% of the time.

EF 300f4L IS USM for me. I love shooting birds of prey. I can hand hold it. If/when I get it the EF 600mm F/4L IS II USM will become my favorite.

35 f1.4 could easily be welded to my camera. 85 f1.8 gets less than half as much use. Got rid of my others.

 

[Ew]

40% 28 1.8
40% 50 1.4
10% 10-22
10% 70-200

But the 100/f2 as been bumping out the 50 and 70-200 lately.
