I am just curious to know ... What is the lens that spends the most time on your camera?

... 16-80 mm. Until then, 24-105 mm.

It depends a lot on what I want to shoot, of course; sometimes it's 100-400 mm, sometimes it's 12-24 mm.

Metal body, small focus ring, great lens

Sigma 24~70 f2.8 for now though it's big and not a lightweight. That may change as I have a Sigma 17~35 coming and a Sigma 24~135 I haven't had a chance to try yet. To be honest though, I always have one of the Sony's close to the door and tend to grab one of then for spur of the moment outings. Adult ADHD, can't make up my mind and all that...

7D-Minolta 24-105 f3.5-4.5

5D-Tamron 28-300

On any given day I could substitute the KM 28-75 f2.8 for either lens.

28-300 Tamron.

Only 75mm seems short for outdoors, and 2.8 seems overkill. But I'm sure if I had a 28-75 2.8, I might change my mind. ;-)

But 200-500 Tamron and Sigma 180mm on camera much more often.

depending on circumstances. The former when traveling or in rough conditions, the latter if low light may be involved...

And whatever else I have (not much) if it will do a better job. A superwide and 100mm macro are on the buy list as is a high end standard lens, as cash permits.
