It pretty much goes without saying that all of the Canon "L" series telephoto primes are excellent lenses and any version of any of them will not disappoint. Outstanding picks (without breaking the bank): If you are looking for a lens no longer in production you can check out used gear on Ebay The 50/1.8 is no longer in production, but the 50/1.8 II is and the optics are supposed to be the same, despite the fact that the original lens rates as 8.7 and the MkII version as 8.6. Lenses marked * are no longer in production, though a few, like the Canon EF 35/2 and the Canon EF 28/2.8 can still be found new if you're lucky.

So if you were randomly picking lenses, your best bet would be expensive Canon primes! If any of the long telephoto Canon "L" primes are missing from this list it's either because they haven't yet collected enough user reviews or I've somehow forgotten to add them to the list! The lone non-Canon lens is the Sigma 300-800/5.6 APO zoom. It's worth noting that all but one of these lenses are Canon lenses and of those 15 are primes. For example less popular and recently released lenses may not appear because they have not received enough ratings to qualify (at least 10 are needed before a lens will be rated as a "best lens").
