Special purpose lenses include the 50mm f/1.4; 24mm f/1.4 L; 16-35mm f/2.8L; 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS; a Tamron 90mm macro f/2.8; and the 50mm f/1.2 L.

I thought I did in the first sentence. ???
Let me restate - My favorite lens is the 24-10mm f/4 L IS.
But that is in general - in other words, most of the time that is the lens on my camera. Other choices are mission driven.

heh, well, sometimes folks favorite aren't necessarily their general lens. Now that I think about it, the 85 f/1.8 probably is my favorite, i just don't use it much because of it's focal length on the crop bodies.

confused... how is the non-is much better than the IS version?
from sharpness tests i've seen, these are equivalent lenses...
if anything the 70-200 f/4 is sharper than the 70-200 f/2.8 is or non-is but from what i've seen the 2.8 is / non-is are the same.
with that said...
my favorite is also the 24-105 f/4L
i'm contemplating trading it for the 24-70 f/2.8L
