If you had to choose one lens only to work with...

Nikon 18-200, yes it's a compromise, but it produces great pics, and the range makes it really versatile. There's an FX version on the horizon also.

There are rumours but most of these rumour sites are just people who have no idea and it is just a wish list. The 18-200 is ok. If they make a FF version then I doubt many people would buy it. FF cameras are not cheap so they tend to be bought by people who are serous. If you are serious then you want the best not something that is a major compromise. I very much doubt that Nikon would do this is would be rather pointless. There is a 28-200 (or something like that) film lens in existence, it wasn't and isn't a popular choice.
 
Hmm I guess if I only had one choice, it has to be my Tokina 16-50 F2.8 lens on my 7D!
 
My Canon 18-200mm IS. It may not be ideal for a 50D, but on my 40D it gives superb results.

Only 'cause that's all they had. Or do you seriously imagine they'd limit themselves in such a fashion today?

Capa was a terrible cheapskate when it came to kit, famous for spending more on champagne than his cameras, which was probably the real reason he swapped his Leica III for a Contax rangefinder sometime just prior to WW2...
His Spanish soldier shot was taken on a 28mm 35mm or 50mm lens - no-one really knows which, but he owned all three at various times...

Capa had cameras with 35mm and 50mm lenses mounted the day he died.
One was a Contax rangefinder and the other was a Nikon S rangefinder (with colour film loaded).

I've checked the EXIF data, it was a 50mm he used. :whistling:

There are two Canon L superzooms that I know of, 35-350 and 28-300, quite an impressive range.
 
500mm F4

I'd glady put up using just one lens for a year if it were this one - because after a year I would still own the lens and could also start using my others again :)
