I was wondering, what is the BEST lens from canon?

If you just want one lens, what would be the best(most right)?


7D / 24-70 f:2.8L USM / EF300 f:4L IS USM / 16-35 f:2.8L II USM

No such thing. There will always be compromises made with each lens made to achieve a certain and very specific goal. Each will excel at that goal and be "okay" for the others...

In current production? I guess the most impressive might be the 200 f/2

i would switch the 24-105 and the 24-70 for starters...I thought the 24-105L was pretty mediocre.

You asked what lens would I like best from canon? If they made a 135 f/2 IS USM that would be killer, but if you put me in front of a case of all of canon's lenses right now and said take one, I would choose the 200 f/2 IS USM.
