For me, it's a tough choice between the 35L and the 50L. I use the 50L more than any other lens, so I will go with that, but I love the 35L as well.

I'd have to say 70-300L IS would be the one I am most impressed by - the sharpness over a great range, great IS, and small enough to fit perfectly in my camera bag with the body and a wider angle lens. I love the 70-200 2.8L IS II and 300 2.8 IS too but they don't get as much use as the 70-300.

85L f1.2 ... duuhhh !

Does anyone really need to ask this question? The 85L is obviolusly the single most compelling reason to own a Canon FF system

300 f/2.8L IS, although I use my 24-105L a little more.

easy for me, 100mm macro USM. it's the only USM lens I own. and I really like full time manual focus. and the focus ring is awesome compared to my other lens.

I like the 35mm f/2 a lot too, and I can get over the loud focus motor.

70-200 f4 IS is half of my travel kit; the 100L macro is glued to the camera during spring wildflower season (both are favorites)

I'd have to say the 500 f/4 IS. But I use the 24 TS-E II much more, and it's a close runner up.

Can I count the Sigma 150 OS macro? It's like the 100L but even better.

Second to that the 200/2 I purchased for a weekend is pretty good, followed by the 70-200/2.8 II.

70-200 2.8 IS II hands down is THE best lens on the planet, of any brand. If I could only ever have just 3 lenses, it would be three of these. I'd feel like I had three lives!

50mm f1.8 is great on my idm3.
It's image quality is about the same as the f1.4 version and is lighter in weight.
It's the most used lenses in my bag.

The second is 135mm f2.
Image quality is super with fast focus speed.

90% of time, I take these two lenses out with me.
