My All Time Favorite Lenses
As I have worked with many of the SLR's and Medium Format camera's out there, I want to share with you some of my favorites. In my career I used Nikon, Canon, Pentax SLR's and all of the Medium Format stuff out there.
My choices are based on my most frequent go for lenses when doing actual projects in the past and present.
Nikon: 85mm f/1.4 Nikkor Al-S
Nikon: 28mm f/2.0 Nikkor Al-S
Nikon: 50mm f/1.2 Nikkor Al-S
Nikon: 105mm f/2.5 Nikkor Al-S
Pentax: smc Pentax DA 40mm f/2.8 Limited
Pentax: smc Pentax FA 31mm f/1.8 Limited
Pentax: smc Pentax DA Star 16-50mm f/2.8 ED AL (IF) SDM
Pentax: smc Pentax FA 50mm f/1.4
Pentax: smc Pentax DA 12-24 f/4.0 ED AL (IF)
Canon: EF 17-40mm f/4.0 L USM
Canon: EF 35mm f/2.0
Canon: EF 28mm f/2.8
Canon: TS-E 45mm f/2.8
Canon: TS-E 90mm f/2.8
Well, there you have it.

but why are they your favorites???
the tilt shift lenses seem really cool, but are a bit out of my price range for the time being. especially when i have other things missing from my bag, like an awesome macro and super wide angle. |

i did visit his blog, and it was the same as his post here with the addition of an awesome shot of a smokin hot woman. i mean, i guess it would be a lot to elaborate on ALL of those lenses, but just a few things they have in common that he likes, or something like that, would be interesting... |
