Default Lens love
If you had to choose one lens to use for the rest of your days, what would it be?

I agree with Autofocus. It's my best all around lens.

Have to agree with Jim but I'd settle for a 12-350mm f/2.8.

Since they haven't made one of these yet then I'd have to settle for the 28-135mm. Can't get down to 2.8 but it's a nice focal range.
