A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

If you could only use one lens for the rest of time what would it be?

I know it'a not everyone's favourite but I'd choose the 24-105

This is what I tell people. I would take the reach of f4 over the speed of a 2.8 most of the time.

It can do great portraits if you know how to stage people against backgrounds to force bokeh. It'll never be as creamy, but honestly if you're shooting portraits lower than 3.2 you can miss so many shots due to focus.

If I had to choose ONE lens, this would be it.
