I've been reading some of the "Switching to Nikon" and "Reccomend me a lens" threads lately, and the discussion of "L" vs "Whatever Nikkor" has got me thinking.
I shoot Nikon, and I have what I feel is pretty nice equipment for what I do. Each of my lenses are among Nikon's finest, and lenses that people generally lust after, and I feel lucky to have been able to acquire them. But obviously I only have Nikon mount lenses, no Canon's and No Sony's or Pentax's etc.
So my question for each of you is this:
What lenses from other Manufacturers do each of you covet?
Me personally, I think most of all I covet the ultra fast Primes in Canon's lineup, specifically the 50 mm f/1.2 and the 85 f/1.2
From Pentax, there are some very nice primes that I also wanted very much when I was shooting Pentax cameras, specifically the 77 f/1.8 limited.
From Sony, there's really nothing unique that I'm aware of, everything they have that's nice is pretty much covered by Nikon already.
Olympus has some really cool constant f/2 zooms that I would drool over if they were possible for full frame cameras.
So what about the rest of you?
