Re: What's your most used lens & why
For me it has to be a toss up between the Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8, purely cuz it costs so much so feel I have to use it
 ......or the Sigma 10-20mm, just because I love the wide angle shots it gives

Re: What's your most used lens & why
Tamron 18-200mm simply because of the range it covers. For £260 sovs an excellent walk-about lens.

Re: What's your most used lens & why
My kit 18-70 is on the camera all of the time, because it's the only one I've got!
If you do decide to sell the Sigma 70-200, Dave, maybe that situation will change! |

Re: What's your most used lens & why
Sigma 18-50mm DC kit lens stays on - 'cos camera fits in camera bag better!
 But Sigma 105mm EX DG Macro is arguably used more often (well, more successfully!). Well, in the summer, anyway |

Re: What's your most used lens & why
At the moment I'm enjoying working with the 35mm 1.4L.

Re: What's your most used lens & why
I do tend to keep the Sigma 30mm 1.4 (48mm equivalent on 35mm) on the digital camera with the others close at hand if required.
It is a very sharp lens with good contrast and I like the fast lens. I can also crop part of the image and then use Sizefixer SLR to bring out detail. Doug |

Re: What's your most used lens & why
At the moment it's the Sigma 10-20 as it's my most recent purchase and I want to learn how to use it properly... but the Canon 100-400L IS get's more use on average

Re: What's your most used lens & why
My Nikkor 18-70mm lense is the most consistently used lense. Covers most of my needs at present. I would like a nice wideangle lense for travel, landscapes and and general photography though, any suggestions ?
