| What Is Everyone's Go-To Lens?
Which one lens is everyone using for their go-to lens for everyday and special event occasions?
Currently using a 24-70mm F2.8, although I do miss shooting with primes.

I cannot decide. I swap lenses all day everyday. 
I wish there was a 11-400mm f2.8 VR that's made out of the best materials possible with awesome everything. Simply the best lens ever made for everything.
One can only dream 
For the most part I use a Tokina 11-16 and sometimes a 50mm but like I said I cannot decide which would be my go to lens. I like them all, I use them all and I want them all! Gotta catch'em all!!

24-105 for walk around lense and 70-200 L IS II for portraits (which is very sharp wide open).
Tempted to get the 16-35 L II. It has a useful range but crappy corner performance on full frame. Can't justify spending that much money on it and having to stop down to F/8 or F/11 to get the corners sharp. I will just wait for the next generation; but knowing Canon, the next gen lens will be doubled in price.

The 500L seems to be my most used lens for what I've been shooting lately.

Tammy 17-50 f/2.8 VC!
As much as the VC jumps instead of floats over, it's damn effective [rated for 4 stops].
For events, Magic Drainpipe stays glued to my camera (80-200 f/2.8L). It may not have IS or USM, but the AF-D on it works damn well. Also, audience members seems to not notice a black lens so much as they might a white one!
