If you only had one lens....

Hypothetical/serious question:

No matter the cost, if you could only carry one lens, what would be the lens you would carry?

I never go anywhere to shoot without my 70-200mm VR2 Nikkor.

On the Canon it'd have to be the 85 f/1.2, Which I do not own!

Sigma 24-135mm, 2.8-4.5

Unfortunately it died! Now it's a Sigma 17-70mm, 2.8-4.5! It is what I use 90% of the time, these days.

Bought Canon's 18-200 specifically for this reason. On our vacation 2 years ago, my wife said she wanted to take pictures with my older (30D) but only wanted to deal with 1 lens. The 18-200 works great! Goes from indoor to reasonable tele outdoors. F3.5-5.6 covers a good range. And I'm very happy with the picture quality from the lens. Not overly bulky either.

In general, Canon 24-70/2.8L.
Unless I know I'll be inside working with no flash and low light: 50/1.4

No one lens will do it all but, my go to lens for my 5D II is the Canon 24-105 4.0 IS L.

I chose this one for it's versatility, IS and image quality.

Well I did just this for over 20 yrs....it was a SIGMA 70-210f2.8 .......if I needed wider I just foot zoomed backwards.....now I would still opt for the Sigma 70-200f2.8...not because of the lower price but also because of the lower weight of the lens.
