State your favorite canon lenses and why.

What's your favorite canon lens and why? It would be good if you stated what kind of photography you generally do.

If you have more than one, then please rank them. But try to keep the list short. Perhaps limit to top 3.

The 3 that get most used are 400mm f/5.6L, 70-200mm f/2.8L IS, 24-70mm f/2.8L USM,

but If I could ONLY own 3, then 70-200mm would be forfeit in favor of TS-E 90mm f/2.8;

Kenko teleconverters would get used even more often.

 

EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM is a favorite lens for astronomy, landscape, cloud, and sunrise/sunset photography.

 

My two favorite walk-around lenses:

 

EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM

EF 70-200mm F/2.8L IS III USM
