I'm refering to SLR lenses :-)
What's the biggest and widest lens you have?
Biggest wise, I've a Canon EF 70-200 IS zoom, but I still have my old Canon manual lenses, an FD 400mm f5.6 and FD 300 f4 that I can still use via a converter.
Wide, I use to have a Canon FD 15mm fisheye, but have to rely on my 17mm of my 17-85 zoom lens - though my SLR has a compensation factor of 1.6x which makes it 26mm

am glad you said lenses i was a little woried when i saw it :P i dont have a clue about camaras but i just thought i would write that ^^
My camera isn't a full DSLR - its a bridge camera, but there are many many other lenses you can get for it which attach to the lens on the camera.
But the standard lens goes from 28-504.
Got the 18-55is kit lense and a 55-250is for my 1000d.
Would like a 70-200is f4 and a 1.4 or 2x coverter, but don't have the £1000+ required for them.
Both :p
Currently what I haven't broken yet:
17-40 F4 L
300 F4 L IS
I really want to pop to a shop and try a 24-70 F2.8 L.... Never owned a lens that can do a solid 2.8 either prime or through the zoom range.
Oooh get you and your L series lenses.
Me jealous....never :(

18-55 kit lens
70-200L f2.8 (lovely lens!)
LA LA LA NOT LISTENING!!!!
Widest is a Canon 10-22. Longest is a Canon 70-200 f/2.8 IS.
Canon 17-55 f/2.8 plugs the gap :)

if you can afford an L lens (I've got two) they are well worth the money.
My Canon EFS 17-85 IS is nice, but feels cheap in comparison to an L. My EF 70-200 f2.8 L just oozes build quality. A truely amazing lens, as are the extenders.

I had a camera with wide angle lenses and zoom lenses the full kit and caboodle but gave it to the charity shop, too heavy and too much fuss to mess around with even though I had some great pics from it in the past.
