It's a toss up for me. I would say it runs 50/50 for my EF 85mm f/1.2L or my EF 135mm f/2.0L. They both are great. I'm looking at the 200mm f/2.8L and am dreaming about the 300mm f/2.8L (but ~$4200 is a bit much for me)... Maybe I'll pick up a 5D or it's successor first.
Got a tip for us?

What lens is on your camera the most?

The 85L and 135L shine on FF. The 85L is ideal for cropped sensor cameras. The 135L is bit too long (for portraits at least). Unless you're shooting landscapes. Both are two helluva lenses.
Beyond a shadow of a doubt, my Canon f2.8 100mm macro. Spectacular closeups, and it's great for tight portraits. I have been dreaming about getting the 50mm f1.4 though. A fast portrait lens is the lens I'm missing, although I'm thinking about getting something in the 16-70 mm range (not exactly those focal lengths, just that interval).
But yeah, since getting the 100mm macro, I've used the kit lens on my 400D about 6 times (maybe 60-80 pics). All the other 5000+ pics have been taken with the macro lens.

Right now I'm using various telephoto lenses in order to get shots of the resident geese and their new gosling, and have also been doing a lot of macro shooting of flowers, but normally the lens which loves to hang out on my D3 is the 24-70mm.
Exact same here, Pentax kit lens... Don't laugh guys for a kit lens it's not that bad..... Honestly
Same, i have been very pleased with this kit lense.
18-55MM for the studio (if i can call it that lol)
28-200mm tamron lens for the field.
Right now it's usually my 70-200. However, my 12-24 has been getting some use as well. I'm almost ready to purchase a 17-55 so, that will be mounted a most of the time I'm sure.

Usually my 18-135mm lens. I use it for pretty much everything. I use my 50mm just for portrait work.
Nikkor 17-55mm f2.8 most of the time, although I carry my Nikkor 50mm f1.4 with me in my pocket too.
Currently my 70-200mm L lens sits on my camera the most, although once I get that 300mm /2.8 that will probably take it's spot. I get closer to buying the lens by the second .

Pentax' primes are superb. I've been using the FA 50 mm f/1.4 for a vast majority of what I shoot, I've got my eye on the new 35mm f/2 1:1 macro limited as well as the FA 77 mm f/1.8 limited.

This one is my camera pretty much all the time:
EF 85mm f/1.8 USM

I wish I could get the other F/1.8 lens.. but for right now this one works for me!!!

EF 17-40F4L...spends about 90% of the time on my 10D. 70-200 F4L gets 9%, and 1% for the 50 F1.8
The beautiful, rugged, ultra-sharp, and compact Nikon 180 2.8 AF-D. It's the ultimate stealth lens for candids. One of the 50's, either the 1.8 or 1.4 depending on my mood, hogs the rest of the time on my D70. When I rented a D300, it was the 28 2.8 AIS that saw the most action.
18-55mm kit lens on my Rebel XT (around 50% of the time)
I also use my Tokina 12-24mm f/4 quite a bit (I would say 24% of the time or so) for landscapes and inside my family's store. I use the 50mm f/1.8 the rest of the time, mostly for playing around with the large aperture.
