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.

[european]

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!!

[Wetordry]

Same. 24-70mm F2.8
Miss primes especially the 50mm

Tokina 11-16mm for me, can't quite afford a 24-70mm yet lol

[lilaznviper]

im using the 24 -105. i want the 24-70 but can't afford it yet

[impactX]

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.

I want to get a 50mm prime again, I sold my 50 F1.8 (my first lens I bought) 1.5 year ago. So light and fast!

[!MiKrofT]

Tamron VC 17-55 F2.8

Wish they made a 17-70 F2.8 constant :)

Canon 24L II my main lens

24-70mm f2.8. Never fails

[Senna4ever]

Walk around lens: mostly the 5DmkIII + 24-105L, but I also keep the 70-200L IS II in the bag.

Wedding lenses: 8-15L, 35L, 50L, 24-70L II, 70-200L IS II, along with the 1DX.

[Volvoman]

Sigma 17-50 f2.8

[Matsuda]

500mm Bigma :troll:

[artmotion]

Tamron 28-75 f/2.8. Definitely want to pick up a Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 and some L lens one day...

[J____]

I walk around with the 35L, my fav prime

[Boostslut]

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

[giCe]

Tamron 24-70 f2.8 vr
Does 90% of what I want
VR is money!

[Mashimaro]

Using the 50L since it's new to me. otherwise, my 70-200 II.

[IMASA]

17-55 f2.8 when I was crop, but ever since I went full frame, I just use a 50mm 1.4

[FishTaco]

Canon 17-55

[AstulzerRZD]

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!

[cdnav8r]

Nikon 10-24mm

[gloors]

Just bought an 50mm lens for my Canon looking forward to use it!

Nikon 16-85mm. Perfect focal lengths for most situations :)

Canon EF 100mm f2.8 (macro)


i actually rarely use it for macro, the lens is EXTREMELY sharp for everything.

24-70mm can do just about everything.

I just love that thing!!

BUMPING this thread!

My buddy is planning to propose and asked me to capture some images. I own a 24-70 F2.8 and 85 F1.8.

I used my 24-70 100% of the time a few months ago when I helped another buddy shoot his proposal. Would any of you guys use the 85? The 24-70 seems to be able to do it all.

[Boostslut]

The 24-70 sucks @ F1.8!

[giCe]

on Canon -> 24-70 f2.8 VR
on Olympus m43 -> 17mm f1.8

I absolutely love my Sigma 85mm f1.4 as well but it isn't my go to for everyday shooting. My walk around lens is the 35mm f1.4. :accepted:

[Razor Ramon HG]

The 35mm 1.8 is the only lens that I use.

I had the 18-55mm and the 55-200mm, but found them unnecessary for my style.

[rageguy]

Sigma 30mm 1.4. Easy to use, focuses quickly and is good for most situations. Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC Autofocus Lens for Digital Camera 300205 (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/433042-REG/Sigma_300205_30mm_f_1_4_EX_DC.html)

[Boostslut]

My go to lens, is the Canon 17-40F4L. Why? Because it's the only lighter lens I own. Although I do really enjoy the 70-200 2.8 for basically everything!

[Soundy]

Out of three lenses (EF-S 17-85 kit, old EF 75-300, and EF 50/1.8), I'd have to say the Nifty-50 sees the most use. Just love how fast it is vs. the other two.

[lowside67]

I am planning on doing my backpacking trip with a 17-40 mounted on my new 6D and a cheap and light zoom in the pack, something like the Tamron 55-200mm that I took with me to Spain. I found that on my recent trip to Spain, I took a TON of photos at 17mm and really would not be happy with the compromise to 24mm to replace it with a 24-105.

you mean the 500mm isn't your daily?!

If I were to go birding daily or something like that, then most likely yes!

[Mashimaro]

My new go to lens: Canon 24-70 2.8 II

Amazing lens compared to the version I. :)

[tomatogunk]

20mm f1.7 on my m43

[dark0821]

nikkor 17-55 on crop... but do keep the 50mm 1.4 in the bag...

and almost never use my 70-300 LOL

[Hondaracer]

So are many of these go to lenses wide angle? What constitutes a wide angle lense?
Posted via RS Mobile

[Volvoman]

Since 50mm is the standard (on full frame), I would say anything below that is wide.

My go to is the Sigma 35mm f1.4

[kobe tai]

135L for me. I use it 80% of the time.
Posted via RS Mobile

[N.V.M.]

500mm, 90% here.

[donny123]

my tokina 11-16mm 2.8 is on my camera most of the time, unless i am shooting concerts... then i will switch between my wide angle and my 85mm 1.8

and my main lens for video is my old school 50mm 1.4 ai-s

[Hehe]

Walk around: 28mm F1.4D

[bchizzle]

Zeiss 35/1.4. Great for all round on crop sensor, and great for portraits in context on FF!

[xela]

For me it's the 24-70 as my walk around/travel lens. If I'm shooting with people I use the 70-200 more.

[davidhtam]

For Groups photos 35 1.4L

For walking around 50 1.2L

For Portraits, 85 1.2L

For Candids, 135 2.0L

[BoostedBB6]

The one that I have on the camera.

18-135 stm....nothing special but its not stupid expensive, the quality is decent. Focus ring is buttery smooth....better than some of my L glass.
It changes once in a while, but the 18-135 stm is a decent "kit" lens.

[WhiteVitz]

My used to go-to lens was Tamron 17-50 f/2.8

Just changed it to Sigma 18-35 f/1.8

How is it? Where'd you get it? It's out of stock everywhere!
I'm in the process of selling my lens to gather funds for the 18-35..
