Really hard to pick one lens but in the summer I love going for a wander with just my 100L macro and 7D2 to search for insects
Fantastic lens and the IS is so good that I can travel light and not need a tripod or flash
On my Nikon FF bodies, it has to be my Tamron 150-600 f/5-6.3 Di VC USD. No zoom this relatively cheap has the right to be so good, and impressively tack sharp at 600mm and wide open. it's a giggle.
For my M4/3 system, although I have some really nice lenses, the one I always come back to is my Olympus 12-40 F2.8 Pro. It's a belter !
My favourite all round lens, that lives mostly on my 5D mk2 is the Canon 24-70 f/2.8 L. Its a heavy, but best al rounder, good quality and general zoom range.
number 1: EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II - well, there's no need to explain why
number 2: EF 24mm f/2.8 IS - beautiful amazingly sharp lens - little gem from Canon here.
number 3: EF 100mm f/2.8L IS Macro
number 4: Sigma 35mm f/1.4 'Art'
But I still have much love for my old 50mm f/1.8 II lens. In some ways I still prefer it to the 1.4
My old Nikon 80-200 F2.8 ED push/pull... they don't make lenses like it anymore and whilst it weighs a ton I love that about it (maybe not so much at the end of a whole day shooting a wedding!). I just can't see any reason to replace it with a modern version as the images from it are pin sharp and it feels like it will outlast me.
