1. Which lens are you willing to get beat in a harsh environment
when you don't want to take the nice lenses out to play.
All of them within reason, if the conditions are right (light subject etc.).
However I've also stowed my gear when the weather conditions are just
horrible & the opportunities weren't that great.
2. Which lens will you only bring out in the nicest conditions?
(and as a result this lens, though perhaps now having some age to it,
still looks like new)
All of them. They're only tools. With the proper protection most conditions
can be tolerated.
During my last trip to Denali, I shot for hours with my 600 in a pretty good
snowstorm. Got some of my best images. No issues with the equipment
afterwards. Of course I kept it covered.
I can also understand guys who wouldn't use their best in less than ideal
conditions but suppose you're out without your pristine lens & the
opportunity arises that requires its use. You just blew it.
We're all in this for different reasons.
