My favorite is my Canon 70-200/f2.8 *non*-IS. Don't like IS lenses for motorsports photography.

My second favorite is the Canon 17-40/4

Don't really have a favorite. It depends on the situation, but I do love the 85mm f/1.8G Nikkor. A really great portrait lens, and the bokeh is creamy! I use it a lot.

Wish it was an f/2.8 but then it would be HUGE!

Atane, have you ever had your hands on the DC (defocus control) lens?

My favourite lens could be my next one. My Leica Summilux 50mm F1.4 has just arrived in the shop in the UK after almost 7 months of wait Should get it soon though

Bokeh, here I come!

No you are not, I am . Wishful thinking I guess.

Okay, I know that lens and it's excellent. Especially on a 5D series.
