p.8 #1 · Best Canon lens you purchased


It looks like Access and I are the only ones to find the 24-70L their best Canon lens. If needed, I could chuck all my other lenses and use this on FF (or 1.3X crop).

Second place, and first place in pure IQ, is the 24TS-E II.

Tied for third are 15FE, 100L, and 16-35 II.

Tie between 70-200 2.8L IS II and 135 F2.0L

the 70-200 is fantastic and extremely versatile but the 135 produces gorgeous, swirling background blur on a full frame body and is also razor sharp.

One of my L primes, probably the 50F1.2L. It's just such a beautiful lens.

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.


YES! You can. That was MY fault. Of course I am not fixed to Canon lenses. What I had in mind was "the best lens you purchased" for a Canon body, of course. Sorry.

The 70-200 f4 IS L is the sharpest and easiest to use lens I've ever owned, bar none.

This compilation of choices shows the diversity of photographers we have here.
I would expect to see a much narrower selection of "Best lens". Truly diverse.

My choice goes to the one and only "Pipe" 80-200L. But the 35L comes in close second. Take them together and i do not need any other in my kit. Well, not until i can afford a 300 2.8 at least

EF-S 17-55f2.8IS

Decent zoom, not my best lens optically but on the camera more often than not and gets most of my better pics.

You've just stirred up the Hornet's Nest. The Zeiss aficionados will now have a field day.

Late serial number 200 f1.8 Was lucking enough to get one of the last lenses that was being sold by "Lee" over in Korea. Best decision I ever made

Clearly the 135mm F2.0L. It made me sell my Magic Drainpipe after all.
