Tamron SP AF 28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di without a doubt, and a fraction of the cost of an L-series Canon lens.
It's such a great, all-purpose lens, and at f2.8, allows good creativity with dof.
The kit lens (Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6) at 18mm is a great quality lens for wide angles.

my Nikkor 50mm f/1.5 _was_ my favorite
until i got the Tamron 90mm di macro, that is...
my current challenge shot is also w/ this lens, and i've got an idea for the next challenge that it will also get used for... took an absolutely gorgeous portrait with it last week.

| Canon 50mm 1.4, just got it 2 weeks ago. I compared it with my brothers L series and neither of us could tell the difference. Plus the USM and excellent bokeh |

I haven't done a lot of DSLR shooting yet, but thus far I love the Canon 100mm F2.8 USM Macro. With more shooting as the weather cools off I think I'll learn to love the 17-40 F4 L even more though.

The lens I have most enjoyed shooting with is 50mm f/1.8. I can call it the lens I love most.
But it's not the lens I use most often now. My main lens is what joezl mentioned earlier in the thread, Nikkor 28-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED IF.
I love it too - it suits my needs. I have my eyes on another lens, Nikkor AF-S Nikkor 17-35mm f/2.8D ED-IF, but I don't see a good enough reason to buy it because I have not reached the stage where better glass is going to make me produce better images. |
