My favourite lenses:

• Pentax 35-105 A Macro Zoom f3.5 (oldie but a goodie)
• Pentax 50mm F1.4
• Pentax 16-45 f4 zoom
• Pentax 55-300
• Pentax 10-17 Fisheye
• Pentax 6 X 7 90mm leaf shutter (f.2,8) (medium format)
• Tokina 11-16 f 2.8
• Canon 400 mm f 5.6
• Mamiya 180 mm TLR telephoto leaf shutter (medium format)

I use Pentax DSLR...therefore the reason for the preponderance.

As a rookie photographer who is building his arsenal of lenses.... my favorite lens is always the lens that I don't have but am figuring out a way to obtain it

Tokina 12-24 f4 - never fails to produce. constantly impressed by this little UW
Canon 60 2.8 - new favorite lens i try to find reasons to use, sharpest lens i own by a good margin
Canon 28 1.8 - useful focal length and good speed. lil soft wide-open, but useable.
Sigma 80-400 OS - I am lucky to have an exceptionally sharp copy.
