16-35 II
70-200/2.8 IS
actually it's the bread and butter kit
though Sigma 14 saw a bit of use too, but nowhere near the above 2
now, deciding between 16-35 and 70-200... that'd be tough

Converted Minolta Rokkor 58mm/1.2 is on top with much distance to other lenses.

Samyang 14/2.8 was well used before it got unusable, Meyer Goerlitz Trioplan 100/2,8 was used very often too.

300 2.8 with and without 1.4 TC, but I do mostly aviation photography. For everything else I'm becoming very fond of the of the efs 17-55.

I was thinking the same thing! Then I remembered I forgot to include a drive that has a lot of sports images

After adding everything up again the 135L is still on top, but the 200 F/2 is in second place! That bumps the 50L down to third place.

That's funny. With two kids under the age of three, I don't get to many sporting events these days... hence the weighting on the 35-85 focal lengths. Primarily shooting the kids (and their friends) at play. When I have time for myself, I tend to hop on my motorcycle ... which was a new source of entertainment for me in 2011.

Surprisingly, my Tokina 12-24 stole the show this year; I'm looking forward to investing in an even better ultra-wide. I'm not sure how that'll be in the new year, as my photography patterns are sure to change, starting a business and moving to a much different part of the world is likely to change things.

Hope we all have another great year

24-105L by far. Great results on the 5DII, decent coverage, convenient to carry.

Followed by the 35L, and will now be concentrating on the new 70-200 2.8 II.

I'm lucky to have a very magical, Magic Drain Pipe (Canon 80-200 2.8) and it carried many a day in 2011. Surprisingly after that, the very good and mostly under-appreciated Tokina 16-50 2.8. It was a steal for me when I acquired it. 3rd place is my Sigma 105 2.8 macro.

If you find one, try & buy; my copy continues to surprise, even in low light.
