I agree with the 18-55 IS. There are A LOT of wonderful images out there taken with this lens.

Eh, the poll's probably not so appropriate here because there are so many choices...whatever though. I may have to go with the 90mm TS-E. It's a wonderful and well-respected lens, but I almost never hear it recommended. Almost 1:3 macro with excellent sharpness, and of course tilt and shift at a reasonable price.

35mm f2. I had it and it was wonderful on my 7D. The only reason I changed was because I wanted a quieter lens. Otherwise, it was sharp and rendered color very well

I'd have put this in the overrated list. We see the world in different ways.
