What's your go to camera lens? Or what's a lens that you have your eye on?

My EF 24-105 f/4 L is on my camera 85%-90% of the time for my travel and landscape photography, and I love it.

[JonnyRay]

I've been shooting with the RF 28-70 f2 for a couple of years now. It stays on my camera 90% of the time. So good!

Tamron 35-150 f2-2.8 along with a 20mm 1.8.... The tamron is one of the most unique lenses ever and very versatile as well!!

As an enthusiast, I shot with a 24-70 f/2.8 zoom lens as part of the Holy Trinity since my Canon D30 in 2000. However, according to the EXIF analysis, the 40mm is my most frequently used focal length and now I'm back to what I started out over 45 years ago, a 50 mm prime. But this time it is a f/1.2 (Nikon Z 50 f/1.2 S on my Z9) instead of f/1.8, while the 24-70 f/2.8 (or 28-70 f/2 if I have the Canon R1) is in standby mode.

As far as the lens I have my eye on, it is the 200 f/2 or a NOCT. 🙂

Last week I bought Canon R6 mark ii and RF 24-70mm F2.8 lens. I am happy with the product delivery and I am gonna explore this week. Thank you for your positive videos about lens. 💜

I'd rather sacrifice the stop of light for the 24-105, I find the 24-70 a bit short, the 24-105 is my favourite walk-around lens, if I want fast, I forget about zooms.

[jpeltzphotodesign]

While I agree that the 24-70 range is one of the most useful lenses, new photographers looking to instantly up the professional look of their images should also strongly consider the 70-200 range, especially at f/2.8.

[vankoscott]

RF 24-105 F4 is a really good and sharp lens. If you're on a budget, just buy 24-105 f4 and RF 35 1.8 and you are good to go :D RF 35mm is really sharp too.

[ooharloo]

I have the 35-150 2-2.8 now and it’s a blessing and a curse. Blessing as it’s so damn versatile. A curse as I don’t use my Sony 35mm 1.4 GM and sigma 85 1.4 DG DN nearly as much now.

[greyangel]

The one lens I have on my camera most of the time is RF 28-70 f/2. I still carry the EF 16-35mm f/2.8 and the RF 70-200mm F/4 with me when traveling and I pretty much got the trifecta. :D

[walwhite]

As an APS-C shooter, the Canon 17-55 f2.8 IS adapted onto my Nikon Z50 is what I always seem to gravitate toward

[gwarlow]

12-40 2.8 Zuiko (24-80mm equivalent in 35mm terms) handles 90% of my travel shooting needs. I love it! Great video. Cheers.

[philipphanslovsky]

I have a Sigma 50mm f1.4 and I love it. I also have a RF24-240mm F4-6.3 IS USM that came with my R6, and it is so great for traveling/easy snapshots. I love the huge range of focal length. Aperture could be a little better but it is good enough for most shots that I do.
Also: Canon now has a 24-105mm f2.8. I am very interested in that one.

[fahadreza]

i bought a 24-70 2.8 lens and i absolutely love it.

[darylcheshire]

When I got the R5 I got the RF50mm f/1.8 as a freebie, I only had EF lenses and I was glad tp play with the camera without the adapter. Recently I visited Adelaide and took that 50mm lens as I was conscious about the weight and got my feet to do the zooming.
Cartier-Bresson did his street photography with the nifty fifty but I wondered if that was all he could afford, rather than use the 50mm as the first choice.

[unlockthepicture]

RF 24-105mm is my go-to lens. I use it almost every time when shooting with my EOS RP.

[guyphoto]

I like two lenses equally and take them to all the event and graduating senior shoots that I do: the Canon EF and RF 24-105 L 4.0 and the Canon EF and RF 24-70 2.8 L lens. I often still shoot with either a Canon 5D MK IV, 5D MK II or one of my R lenses, the R or R6 MK II. The Canon 24-105 L 4.0 is my go-to travel lens.

[ftby]

I’ve been shooting over 25 years. I use the 24-70 RF 90% of the time now. It’s the Swiss army but the best 24-70 I’ve ever used. I will say, seeing the CanonRumors of a 24-105mm 2.8 coming out is going to be an instant preorder. The current 24-105 is a great lens but I’m just not impressed with the quality when compared to the 24-70.

[matthewsinger]

As someone who primarily shoots nature and landscapes and travel and occasionally shoots people, I opted for the 24-105. Would I like brighter f/2.8 aperture? Yes. But the 24-105 f/4 is pricey. I use the 105 end more than I do f/2.8. I find it handles portraits just fine.
