People know I'm just teasing... and I must admit, I'm a little jealous of Sony's lens line-up. I'm particularly interested in trying out the 135STF

You see these topics appear all the time on various gear boards, and I hate them.
Forget the fact that it seems many people cannot can stick to the OP's criteria (Canon full-frame, in this case, and under $2500), what should someones preferences mean to anyone else ?
For instance, the OP wants to exclude macro lenses (who knows why), but someone else might want to shoot macro, or might like a lens that happens to be a macro (i.e. Zeiss ZF 100/2). One's idea of an ideal prime setup should depend on intended application. Are you doing portraiture, fashion, macro, birding, street, sports, architecture ? Oh yeah, birding and macro and sports are out. So what are we shooting, exactly ?
Ill-specified threads like this just end up to be idle navel gazing. It's like posting a thread asking people to list their 4 favorite tools, but they can't be used for drilling, cutting, or hammering. Umm, ok, I list a level, crowbar, 3/8" socket wrench, and power sander.
