What is your favorite lens for shooting MX? I am thinking of ordering a Canon 24-105mm f/4L IS. Right now I am shooting with a 70-200mm f/2.8L IS & a 50mm f/1.4.
This shot is with the 50mm but I want to get a little closer.

Not sure the 70-200 will have enough reach on a FF body.

I really like my 70-200 2.8. I do think that its probably the most used lens in my bag. Its sharpness and versatility make it a must have for anyone seriously wanting to shoot great moto shots.
I also have the 24-70 L 2.8.. Its nice and I like it when I can find a place to use it. Its perfect for podiums.
My favorite tho is the 105 2.8 Macro. By far the sharpest lens in the bag. To bad its limited range makes it tough to ever use it.. But when I do get to use it its my favorite.

I really like the 17-40 w/a also I use it on my second camera which is a 40D
definatly need a 1.4 or 1.7X TC for the 70-200 now on an FX body.
Might be a suitable alternative to the 300 F2.8, but it's about $5100 street price, I think the nikon 300 is about $4000.
