I'd be kickin' an' screamin' about letting the others go but the 24-70 2.8L would be the one that stays.

Oldies but still goodies: AE-1+Program | FD 28mm f/2.8 | FD 50mm f/1.4 | FD 70-210 f/4
Toss up between the 105 and the 70-200VRII... but the 70-200 would win the day.
I would choose my sigma 105 f2.8, i find it quite versatile...
Nikon D700 in all it's glory!
The only lens I have that can do birds and landscapes is the 100-400. Not my favourite birding lens, and generally use theh UWAs most of all for landscapes, but if it has to be just one, that is the answer.
since i have been using only one lens all this while (30mm 1.4 on a crop). my crave for a faster lens is still unsettled.
so i can live with a 50mm 0.95/1.1/1.2 imo
It would be Nikon 60mm micro lens. I love macro photography too, and I just recently purchased this lens. Absolutely love it.

It's quite fascinating to see the lenses people would choose. Some I could possibly have guessed, based on people's particular photographic leanings, but a couple have surprised me.
I think it would be quite interesting to restrict ourselves to our 'one' lens for a week or so, to see whether we really could manage with just that lens.
If for some reason my house caught on fire and all my equipment, including my families 60 year archive of photographs destroyed, the only camera+lens I would save would be my Leica M9 with the 50mm f/1.0 Noctilux.
as this chap proves with a wide angle...
