How many Canon L Lens do you own?

Define "need"

Seriously though, some do very varied shooting and can use several different lenses to cover different types of photography. But of course, some of it isn't "need", it's "want".

hahaha yea that's what I mean
I'm totally satisfied with my 24-70L but I would love to get a telephoto for street candid. Actually, I'm still deciding if I should go with the 70-200 2.8 non IS or the sigma 70-200 OS for the same price. Hmmm...

Do we need that many L lenses? =P
I mean we only need the ones we shoot with right?

I own 29 lenses for three different mounts and regularly use all of them.

Well I'm not a pro so I don't need to use all of them. A few would suit my needs (:

How long have you shot DSLRs? Pro or not if you stick with it long enough you will eventually wind up with a lens accumulation too. There's much more to it than just covering the ~17-300mm range with a couple of zooms.

I've been shooting for only 2 years but I never shot anything above 85mm. I know how it is when I'll eventually catch the fever of collecting. I collected sneakers for about 3 years prior to getting this camera and I still can't believe I dropped more than a cars worth on sneakers when I could have used it on some great camera equipment (: Too bad that the majority of the money went to school and the left overs got me my 500D and the rest in my sig

I have my share. Thankfully they're all paid off because I only purchase gear when I have the cash on hand.

I also trade lenses a lot and I now have a lineup that serves pretty much every need for me.

My 6:
24 f/1.4L II
50 f/1.2L
135 f/2L
16-35 f/2.8L
24-70 f/2.8L
70-200 f/2.8L

Counting my extenders I have 5 L series lenses.
17-40 f/4 L
70-200 f/4 L
400 f/5.6 L
1.4X L extender
2X L extender

and a little Canon 17-55 IS that thinks it is an L series lens by the quality of photos it produces!

One-not by choice-I wanted a 200mm Prime that auto focused-and it is an L. The rest are adapted MF lenses or non L EF lenses. Why are people so enamoured by "L" lenses anyway? Its not like they are Angenieux, Jena, or Steinheil Munchen glass?

1. haha - the 80-200 f2.8. Not planning on any other L lenses anytime soon though unfortunately.

We have a few of them.

Im at 12 L lens now, aiming for the 14mm next!

feeling kinda bad for the 5dII...

Just ordered the 24mm mkII making 3 L lenses. Next on the list I think will be the 85mm mk II :0)

Never above 85mm? Really? I rarely go below 100, except for Wide angle astro shots, which are at 18.

2 now but planing ona new one soon 100L

3 and hopefully for my bank no more for a while..

Even though I want a 16-35 f2.8 really badly....
