My favourite lens has to be the one on my cam at the time :) Like many above I go through phases of loving each one the most :)

EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS

Photo below is taken with my second favorite lens: EF 16-35 f/2.8L

My latest lens is the canon 50mm 1.4 , Have not taken it off yet, Maybe I never will.

Nikon should provide lenses like the 50 f/1.4 and 35-70 f/2.8 with a hood. Freakin irritating to have to buy them seperately for insane prices. And the screwtype of the 50 cannot hold the lenscap, arghhhh!

Fast and sharp.


This is my second favourite lens, although the earlier model of this was shitty! The new model is way better. My third choice is the Nikkor 12-24, also awesome!


Get a 70-200 VR man! Fav Nikkor I have.

Yeah I want that one too!


Actually it is not too expensive for the quality it produces, you have to get it. The 1.4 is much more expensive but the quality difference is minimal.


Hmmm, I like the smooth creamy baby bottom bokeh and contrast of the 1.4 a lot more. The 1.4 seems to give images a little extra pop. It should for triple (or something) the price.


Did you try it out? It is not on your list! And yes the 70-200 is on my "to buy" list :)

About the 85 f/1.4

Not yet, but I did a lot of research on both because it is somewhere on my want-to-get-it-someday-list. But first I have to attend Nasti's workshop so that I can become a top portrait/nude photographer. It should earn itself back with ease. I have high hopes. :)

If you know the whole story it would make sense.... let me tell you about it over a beer sometime, after all you only live about an hour away :)

Sigma 105 mm macro, slow but worth the wait.

I'm sorry, I really was just kidding, nothing intended..

I'd love to hear your story, but I'm not really good at meetings ;)

Any lens that gets me the shot I can work with.

Canon EF 17-40mm f4L, I love landscapes and it's my only L lens so far... MUST GET MORE L! :)


Ah, good choice. I love using this one for shows.

After getting the 30D, my upgrade for that lens is:



EF 16-35 F/2.8L USM

*sighs* I love L lenses.
 03/09/2006 05:43:45 PM · #48
This one.

Optical properties are 2nd to none and not a bit of plastic in it.

bazz.
