If one and only one, for APS-C, the 18-200 OS. But the 30 f1.4 and 17-55 f2.8 are close "seconds". Those three spend 85% of the time mounted on my bodies.

My wallet: 500 f/4.

Rich uncle: Still the 500 f/4. As much as I'd like to say the 600, I think it's too big to be my only lens.

Actually, I believe it was started sometime in 2005... it's quite amazing that it's still alive after all that time.

It's a push-pull but otherwise would fit most of my shooting style:

Canon EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS
