to be honest I use to own the 24 and 17 tse version, I end up selling those lenses as I didn't use it much.

All listed in my sig.

Canon 5D Mark II, 15FE, 24LII, 50L, 85 1.8, 135L, 100-400L.

My most used are the 24+50. A great combination. I'm looking into a wide and standard zoom at the moment. As much as I love my primes I've really missed a standard zoom on the two trips I've been on this year.
Least used is the 100-400 but I'm hanging on to it as we're going on safari next year.

On my 5D2:

16-35L
24-70L
50/1.4
135L
70-200L 2.8 II
100-400L

I wonder if someone with loads of time and nothing more useful to do could come up with a list of the top 10 most commonly owned lenses by the non-professional from an analysis of this thread. It would be interesting to compare it with a similar list of lenses used by the professionals on this forum. I'm going back to bed so I'll leave it to someone else...

All my latest gear is listed in my signature below!

and replace the crummy 300 f4L and 400 5.6L with 300 2.8L II IS and 400 f2.8L II IS
