Only have two but the 135L has been on the most as of right now. The 85/1.8 is being used a lot right now though so I can get a good feel for it and test it out in certain situations

The 35L for personal work, the 135L for portraiture.

The 24-70 is seriously on there 90% of the time. It's like guaranteed awesome picture. I shoot one camera wide and the other long, so the crop is a more natural choice for either the 85 or 70-200.

Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8, but I'm using my 70-200mm lately too.

My 24-70L is on my camera most of the time -close to 95%. If it is not that, then it is the 17-40L. And if not that, then my 100mm macro :)

Sigma 50 1.4 or Sigma 120-300. Pretty much a draw.

It was my 50L, but that might be soon changing now that I have the 24L II. :)

I have the 24-70 glued on one body and the 70-200 on the other... both see similar use
