What's your favourite lens?
What is your favourite, or most used, lens? And why do you think you use it the most?

Probably my Nikkor 105mm f2.8 macro - I love it! 
I use it most because I do a lot of macro photography, and it's just about the sharpest lens I own. It's great to work with, though the AF is slow (I guess because it's got so much range to AF through!!!). Other than that my Sigma 50-500mm which I use for wildlife and bird shots.

Don't have one yet! Getting to grips with a tamron 70-300 but probably the errors are human

I only have two,
the one that came with the camera, Nikon 18-55 and I bought the 55-200 lens, so I guess these are my most used lenses

The sigma 10-20mm for me - its a great lens for landscapes, and it can be used for some funky close up stills too.

Having said that I have enjoyed a Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 quite a lot recently...

I like my Nikon F1.8 prime lens best. It was fantastic on my D40 teaching me to focus manually and adjust settings manually and works even better on my D300.

I find myself useing my Nikkor 18-55mm about 75% of the time. The main exception is my macro work with flowers. Then the Nikkor 60 Micro gets pulled out. The main reason for my love of the 18-55 is the obvious zoom. It allows a more precise in camera crop.
