I'm in the minority too, as I purchased my Rebel with multiple lenses, but if they've made 70M lenses and 50M cameras, then the average Canon DSLR owner has 1.4 lenses. The people who are into it, such as the people who would seek out TDP, we tend to have several lenses, and even longer wish-lists. These are balanced by the even larger number of casual DSLR users with the mass-market rebel kits with one or two lenses (18-55 and potentially either 55-250 or 70-300).


It's not really as bad as 1.4 lenses each though, as people do upgrade bodies, lowering the apparent average. Still, I'd bet it's near 1.5 or 1.6.


We like our 50. We love our 85. A 35 would be nicer for indoors. I'd love a collection of cheap, light, fast EF-S primes, but I don't think they're coming.
