On my old 1D3 I loved the 24-70L that I had, it was pretty much glued to the camera.

Now on my 1Ds2 I'd say the 85mm f1.8 is right up there. For the cost it sure gives a lot performance.

Canon makes so many fine lenses

I love the 400 / 5.6.

The 500 is an amazing lens.

The 135 is magic for portraits.

IT all supports the investment in GOOD glass.

100 macro is a close runner up, due to its amazing IQ


Yes, I remember myself. I did not sleep with mine. But I purchased it 5 days before christmas, tested it a second time (I tested 3 in the shop - all seemed to be great) and put it back into the box. Then I waited till christmas evening :-).

Like somebody mentioned here too: Yes, the first "L" is always a special (if it was a great one ;-))

Great to see such a big range of different lenses beeing your favorites. Many of them I never used. That is a nice new orientation.

Canon TSE-17 and T-E 24 II. Both equally sharp with beautiful contrast, colors and with an absence of CA.

70-200L II. My favourite by far. Use the 24-105 the most though.

Here's another vote for the MP-E 65mm, it is indeed special.

The following lenses in my bag deserve honorable mentioning: 35L, 100L, 85L, in that order

The 200 f2, no question. No question I still think its a rip off price but you do normally get what you pay for and its paid for itself.

Can't decide whether its my 135L or 24mm f1.4L Mk2.

I'm really jolly pleased with my 70-200 f4L (non-IS).

This one is difficult. All the Canon lens that I have perform there intended purpose very well. If best means most used, then currently it is the 800. If best means emotionally attached, then it is the 500. Even with the 500's duties virtually being replaced by the 800, I just can't sell it.
