Only one lens.... That's a tough one for someone with LBA....
Well I'll try to narrow it down some, my top 3:
Rokkor MC PG 58/1.2 (fast, love the rendering, and suitable for landscapes)
Canon FD SSC 35/2.8 Tilt/Shift (beautiful rendering, resolution of a macro, and movements other lenses only dream of)
Leica R 60 (sharp wide open from 2:1 to infinity, it can do Macros, Portraits, and landscapes)
Now to pick one...
This is tougher then I expected.
The Rokkor I think. _________________ A Manual Focus Junky...

An interesting thought experiment. When asked for a favorite lens, invariably I also think of a favorite camera that I would use it with. And if I were limited to just a single lens, I would want one that has proven itself to me to be a winner in a variety of settings. And what I keep coming up with is not just a lens. It is a camera. Simply because the lens in this camera is not interchangeable.
So, it would be a Zeiss Super Ikonta B with the coated 80mm f/2.8 Opton Tessar in a Synchro Compur shutter. My favorite Pocket Hasselblad.
I prefer the square format of the "B" because I don't have to worry about recomposing for verticals and I don't have to think about cropping unless I really want to -- I like square photos. _________________ Michael

Yeah, theres a reason its the kit lens, and to tell the truth for 95% of anything I would want to use it for its perfectly fine. It would be more about taking pictures than gear. _________________ I like Pentax DSLR's, Exaktas, M42 bodies of all kinds, strange and cheap Japanese lenses, and am dabbling in medium format/Speed Graphic work. |

I have this camera and lens in very good condition. I've been too time limited to try it out though. Your pics are very encouraging I must say.

Sigma 50-500 "Bigma". At my body size it is not too heavy or bulky to carry all day. Macros are a trial but it does everything else you could want.

I do not think you can get better than this. I know I can't. I use this lens and the 50-500 Bigma to cover from 18mm to 500 mm and everything in between. _________________ Big Dawg |

Thanks Gary!
So many turn their noses up at the mention of a Kit lens but I have found these lens can perform very well indeed.
And they do not cost a lot! _________________ Big Dawg |

Well done Big Dawg.
It just goes to show how good modern lens design is when a kit lens like this can produce such outstanding results.
It is not just the sharpness but the beautiful creamy bokeh that impresses.
