Okay, money is no object, and you can buy only ONE new lens.

What would it be?

I would buy the worlds most expensive lens then sell it and buy all the lens I actually want

But if I had to chose probably the 10 - 22mm Cannon lens I believe is what it is.

Do I want a great all around lens like the Nikon 18-200 VR? Or is it time to get a super wide angle lens like the 10.5mm? Or maybe I've decided to go for a super fast lens like the f/1.4? The short answer is, it depends!

A decent macro lens, probably the ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 50mm (100mm) Macro 1:2.0; although I would love to play with the new ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 14-35mm (28-70mm) 1:2.0 SWD lens they're coming out with.

Ummmm, the Nikkor 8-2000 f/1 VR. I'd have to say probably a Nikkor 70-200 VR or 17-55. Or maybe a 24-70.

You know those lenses they have on the sidelines at football games?

I'd start looking there and move up.

Not to start a flame ware or anything, but we all now the Tamron lens is far superior and only 3/4 the price.

I would get the EF Canon 200mm f/2L IS USM when it becomes available. Granted if money was no object.
