Your Favorite Lens

[J. Evins]

What lens do you absolutely love shooting with the most, and why? Whats your favorite photo you've taken with it?

Don't post up a $10,000 lens and setup unless you really own it :P

Well the two I bought I love equally, 50 mm 1.8 and my 70-200 f/4L.

With the 50.


And with the 70-200

atm... 50mm f1.8

Nikor 10.2 Fish


I love the distortion a fish gives the photo, some ways good, some ways bad.

[J. Evins]

Awesome, I need to borrow a fisheye and see what I think. I've got wide lenses but they don't have the excess distortion.

My favorite lens so far has to be the 85mm 1.2 for everything except automotive. Actually, I take it back - for a commercial style shoot I don't prefer it. I'd rather use something longer with good compression to square the car up. For event coverage and such its a dream.

I have probably used my 50mm f1.4 the most, but my sigma 70-200 has been extremely useful as well.

50mm f1.4



70-200mm f2.8

Probably the 35 1.4L. Loved it on my 40D and its even better on the 5d.
My favorite photo with it isnt a car, so I wont post it.

[J. Evins]

Pooooost it!

[Kielan]

Car or no car I still want to see.

ATM.... my 35mm 1.8

[the dingo]

70-200 f4L is almost always on.



and I don't think I have one favorite but I do like this one.

[J. Evins]

Can't forget the 70-200... I enjoy the lens, but I love my primes better!

Sigma 10-20 4-5.6

Can't for the life of me find the original of this pic:




And I really like the 55-200 that came with the camera:


Thanks to this thread making me search around my pic folders, I found some unedited pics from ages ago

Probably my 70-200 2.8 on my 5d.
