What's your favorite Lens?

[diskojoe]

So what is your favorite lens that you own or at least have used? or both? Tell us why you like it and show us an example of what you do with it.

For me my new sigma 17-50 f2.8 has become my go to lens. The IQ on the lens is sick and the f2.8 aperture throughout the range is invaluable. Only thing I wish is that it could have been a 17-70mm but they do not make those with f2.8 throughout. But I can work with 17-50mm.

here's a couple shots with it.

This was handheld but the iso was at 6400.

My Nikon 14-24mm f2.8 is my favorite, although Ive been using my Nikon 50mm 1.8 a lot lately to change things up a bit.

manual focus can be tricky, but when it's right, it's right:

I'm buying the 17mm TS-E next week. Anyways, my favorite lens is the... Zeiss 35mm f1.4! It truly is an almost perfect 35mm lens. Amazing build quality, beautiful optics. The only issue is some CA at wider apertures (and manual focus if you care about that).
