Best L lens ever

Hey guys. I was wondering which of the Canon L series lenses is the best for you. I only own one L lens so i cant tell much

L lenses is like love... Your first one is the best ever. (... so far.)

There really is no "best". They are different tools for different purposes.
For example, Portraits would use something like 85 1.2 or 70-200 2.8 while landscape would be better with a 24-70 2.8 or wider. Studio shots "best" lens could be a 70-200 f/4 (or even 24-104, 24-70, 85 1.8) since they use small aperture anyways and it's lighter. So really, there is no "best" lens for a person.

for many years it was easily the 70-200L f4 IS for me, but things change and I recently replaced that zoom with the 70-300L.

right now it's the 24-70L II and I don't see that changing any time soon .

Bang for buck I would have to say the 135L. Overall jaw dropping ability I would vote for the 200 f/1.8 IS.

These two I own or have owned, and put them in there with my 500mm f/4L IS.

Would give a nut to have a 200mm f/1.8 or the newer f/2 again.

200 2L.....

35l

It's a toss up between 70-200L II and 85L II for me!

Love my 135L and my 16-35L...wasn't crazy about the 17-40L and the 70-200L was nice, but I don't miss it.

Cool i own the 135 too and ordered the 16-35 last week. Hope it comes soon and i think these are two excellent pieces of glass!

Did you have the 2.8 or the 4 version?

Stunning as it was, it didn't have IS....the f/2 brought that into play.

200 f/1.8L
70-200 f/2.8L II
300 f/2.8L

I've owned 24, 35, 50, 85, 135, 24-70ii, 70-200ii L series lenses and imo the best is the 135L. It was absolutely the best from that bunch imo.

I've owned the 135L (why, oh why, did I sell it!?), and currently own the 24-105L and 100L. In terms of quality the 135 is fantastic, however I rather like the 100L because it has excellent image quality and does double duty as a macro and portrait lens.
