Default Whats your one lens you hate/refuse to take off the camera?

Ever since I received my Sigma 70-200 2.8 OS lens it's been welded to the camera. I hate taking it off, I hate putting on my other lenses. I'm in love with it. It's glued to my camera body and I don't like taking it off.

anyone else have a lens they feel this way about?

24 1.4. The lens is amazing. Close second is my 35 1.4.

Wouldn't have more than 100 lenses when I wouldn't like to change the lenses

I like the Minolta Rokkor 58mm f/1.2 on my 5D. But I do not think it is better than some other fast lenses.
The Meyer Goerlitz Trioplan 100mm f/2,8 is nearly unique - and I love the high percentage of the images I made with it.

My Vivitar Series 1 28-105 f/2.8-3.8 is on my Yashica FX-2 98% of the time. When I do take it off, I am usually mounting my Vivitar Series 1 70-210 f/3.5.

The one that's mostly on my camera is the 100-400. Sometimes I replace it with my 24-100 or the 100 macro (non-L)…

Default 17-55mm f/2.8 IS and 70-200mm f/4L IS

I normally shoot with two cameras wearing these lenses...

EF 24-70mm is pretty much welded to my MkIII now that I've added a second MkIV.

The smaller megapixel count of the MkIII means its now my "up close" body.

Same here. Not that I have a great selection of lenses, but that is why I bought the 70-200. It's the best.
