Hey all, just wanted to see what are the most used lenses on smugmug, and since I cant list every single lens in the poll, I'll list a lens range, then if you comment with your 1 or 2 fav lenses, I'll add them to my post, and we can have a list of our favorite lenses on smugmug =).

What ...no primes ?

AF
Nikon 80-200/2.8 AFS
Nikon 85/1.8D

MF
Nikkor 105/2.5
Jupiter 135/3.5


But this is going to be a tough poll. You may want to break them up a bit more. Like LONG, STANDARD & WIDE polls? Maybe even different brands... (?)


EDIT: Ok, maybe I didn't see the poll. But I'm selectively blind sometimes...

#1 - Canon 70-300 IS USM.
#2 - Canon 50/1.8

what if you use only one lens and it goes from 35 to 420?

Z6 baby!

Or 50-500. The Bigma is without a doubt my favourite lens.

i feel like a partycrasher

#1 Canon 100-400
#2 Canon 24-105 (as soon as I buy it this week!)

It was just a lens range... not an exact model, so primes count too.

Hmm.. then I say you cheat! Lol, jk. I just added a new section for P&S's and superzooms. ;P

Come on guys, I know there are more of you lurkers who would like to share your fav equipment!

i dont see any choice for p-s'ers with mega mega zooms.. but then again.. maybe its rediculous to make an option for just two people

Until I get an "L" lens in it's range, my walkaround lens, and what I take most of my shots with, is the much maligned-by-others Canon 17-85 EF-S.

There have been many times where I have almost upgraded to a 17-40 or 24-105 or 24-70, and I just haven't gotten out the credit card yet. I'm still happy with the range and results of my "kit" lens.

Canon
EF-S 10-22 USM
EF-S 17-85 IS USM
EF 50 f/1.8
EF 70-200L f/2.8 IS USM
EF 100-400L IS USM

I used them all, depending on the gig.
