my most unused: 70-200 IS 4L. maybe used 3 or 4 times in 2 years, mainly for tests.
I'm reluctant to sell it,since it's a top quality lens, but I don't shoot over 135 or 135+1.4 indoor.

I'm really surprised at all the 50 f/1.4's, as it is probably my most used lens. For me the only lens I have that I rarely use is my 18-55 kit lens I got with my XTI when I bought it.

Ya, me too! I love the 50/1.4. That lens us usually on my 30D, and the 24/1.4 is glued to my 5D.
16-35L, 85L, 135L, 180 macro...any lens that isn't my 35L just isn't going to get a fair amount of use. I still use the others when the occasion calls for it and I actually have a purpose for all of them.
Now I'm getting my hands on a 5D tomorrow so perhaps I'll have a change of heart. The 85 is nice, but too long for me on a 1.6 crop, and no IS for use at receptions/low light so I use the 70-200 2.8 or 50 1.2 instead.
I got a good deal on the 28 and it's a nice lens, but not wide enough a 1.6 crop body.
the 135 I got as it'a 1/4 the cost of the 2.0 version, and it was for a second shooter from teh back of the church. then I got a 70-200 F4 and that gets thrown on a tripod and that's as good as the prime (which lack USM). Very sharp lens, I like it alot. Great on tubes (as is the 85).
The lensbaby seems to be sooo finicky to use so I take a long time with it, and I rarely have a long time...
After a month with my 5D i;m getting a 5D2 and will have time to evalute if these non-used lenses are worth keeping or will help offset the 5D2 price. THey can always serve as backup or if I change my shooting style to all primes maybe...but I doubt I will do that.
