What is your fav Canon lens?

This is just a thing I ask out of curiosity, what is your fav Canon lens? It can be any lens, from the old FD, to current RF. It ofc, has to be a lens you used, or still use.

I’ll answer the question too, for me it’s Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS II USM, I love the images it creates and its versatility (both in focal lengths and the aperture), I carry this beauty with me most of the time

I primarily photograph small nature and prefer the ease of handheld, so my go-to lens is the Canon 100mm f/2.8 L macro--I used the EF until switching to RF. My second-most-used lens is the RF 100-500 L.

I would have a hard time narrowing it down. The lenses that spend the most time on my camera bodies are without a doubt are the EF 600mm f/4L IS II and the MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5X Macro. Two very different extremes, but as a wildlife and nature photographer these are certainly my most used. However, I employ the EF 14mm f/2.8L whenever I photograph the night sky, the EF 85mm f/1.2L as my goto for portraits,  the EF 180mm f/3.5L Macro for photos of larger macro subject (less than lifesize), etc.  My point here is it is great to be fond of a particular lens, but each lens has a niche. I also have the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L, the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L, and the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L in my bag and I use and them all for their relative strengths.
