What are your two favorite lense?

I own a Canon 50D, which I purchased in February. Since then, I bought a couple used lenses. Out of the four that I currently own, I probably have used the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 and the Tokina 80 - 200mm f/2.8 the most. I have not purchased the more expensive lenses yet, as I am still developing my skills. What are your 2 favorites?

A lot of that would depend on which camera I was using. The one I carry most is my Nikon D700. The two lenses that go with me with that one are the Nikkor 28~300 and a Nikkor 20mm. Favorites? Maybe, maybe not, but they are the ones that get carried a little more than the others.

On my OLY OMD EM1, the equivelant of the Nifty-Fifty is the Leica 25mm f1.4, and the Wideangle MZuiko 12mm f2.0 are my two favorites----

My #1 is the venerable Canon 24-105. Matched with either the Canon 70-200, or the Canon 100-400 you have a versatility that is hard to match. All are EF lens and so work on FF or crop.

My two favorites, hands down, the Canon 24-105 and the legendary 200 f1.8....., it's....., well....., legendary!!! ;-)

Lately, my 2 favorites are the EF70-200mm f/2.8 L IS II and the EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS II. I keep the 70-200 on my 6D and the 100-400 on my 7DII. Their IQ is outstanding. Especially the 70-200.

Good to know I'm not the only one who doesn't understand the new math!

The lenses I use most are the 50mm f/1.8 on my Df and the 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6 on my D600.

My interests are too broad to pick only two. It entirely depends on what I am shooting. For example, I like to do macro shots, and I have my favorites for that. Or I like to shoot IR and different lenses (and body) for that. And I like to do Astrophotography. And I like birding. And I like nature and landscapes. And this is only a start.
So how do I limit the lenses to just two?
And of course, there is just pure walk around type shooting where I enjoy a broad zoom range.
And then there is the body choice. FULL Frame, Crop Sensor, Bridge Camera, a Sony A6000 with a smaller body and smaller lenses.
