17-40 L f/4

Favorite Lens? That's easy. Canon 15mm Full Frame Fisheye. Yes, it's my favorite lens. What do I use it for? Just about everything. Landscapes, flowers, architectural, sunsets, people, you name it.

Why is it my favorite? It is fun, my kids love being photographed with it. I love the unusual perspective. Fun moment? Asking a photo store robotnik for a polarizer for the lens. Funny stuff. End of complaint that I am not in family photos. Well most of me isn't, but you often will see my feet. http://www.melor.com/gallery/photo.php?photo=1634 One warning - Don't use this one while nude.

Favorite practical lens? Depends what I am shooting. The right tool for the job is going to be my favorite at that time. If I had to pick one? 24-70 Thank God I don't have to pick one.

400mm 5.6 here with 1.4x TC........light and portable

I shoot surfing, windsurfing and bikinis.........

Frances, that wouldn't be your favorite if you saw the bikini with the fisheye...Hubba hubba. Time to wax the long board.

Ricardo, Ricardo, Ricardo (shakes head)
I thought you were reserving your private stash for times when you offer a lens for sale...
Very generous, thanks... You are killing me... One tan morsel at a time…

Edit: Where did I check off "always post my stuff on page 3 of threads"...

35/1.4
85/1.2
135/2

24-70 - great walk around
though sometimes I wish it was a bit wider ...

Different favourites for different situations, hard to pick just one.
Currently I'm into sports, so... 300/2.8 or (as used below) 135/2...

28/2.8
300/4

THAT'S IT!

I had the 50/1.8, 85/1.8, 100/2, but had to sell them due to financial matters.

85 f/1.8
I use it for portret and with extension tubes for close up's of flowers.

It is between a Canon 300L f/4 IS with or without a 1.4 TC and a Mitake Formula 5 135mm f/1.8 M42-EOS lens.

My most used lens had to be my 100-400LIS which i use for all my aviation and motor sports shots. My faveourite lens however is my 15mmFisheye. I just love that lens, it is so fun and you can be so creative with it!

My best day with it was Eos3/Ilford Delta 100/15mm fisheye!

Bliss. I want a 1ds now! Hehe

I love the 135 2L and use it all of the time since I mainly shoot headshots. Tight ones. Some people find it too long on a 1.6 cam but itīs perfect for my needs.

I like all my lenses.

135 2L without doubt. Unfortunately, I just don't have many opportunities to use it. I may start taking headshots of some players, as Anden does, since that seems like a good idea to me.

Sigma 18-50 f2.8 - there's nothing that competes with it on a 20D ...
