p.7 #1 · What was your most used lens in 2011?


In order of no. of shots taken I think it would be something like:

Sigma 120-300mm F2.8 OS (with and without 1.4x and 2x Sigma TC's),
Canon EF 100-400mm IS L,
Canon EF-S 15-85mm IS,
Canon EF 70-200mm F4.0 L (non-IS),
Canon EF 100mm F2.8 Macro (non-L).

I shoot mainly wildlife. I got the Sigma in September, don't think I've picked up the 100-400 L since then.

Paul.

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.


Tokina 16-50 f/2.8 was my most used lens indoor. Canon 15-85 outdoor

Of the photos left in Lightroom, it goes like this:
71% - 400 f/5.6L
18% - 18-55IS
11% - 100 f/2.8L Macro

Mostly photograph birds, and I got the macro lens around August.

200 f/2 (mainly due to little league season and kids indoor performances)
sigma 85 f/1.4

I tend to use the 35L more often this year to replace the 24-70.

35mm 4 to 1 against my old 70-300. I've since upgraded both lenses. I'm thinking my #1 lens this year is going to be the 100-400 I haven't bought yet

That's surprising ... as those two are almost interchangeable!

I opened up Lightroom, searched for all my photos from 2011, and then looked at the number of photos from each lens. Looks like I shot my 135L about 43% of the time. Second most was the 50L at around 22%.

What was your most used lens in 2011?

Are you or someone tabulating the results of this? It is getting intriguingly interesting.
