Petteri Sulonen of the (now defunct) site Prime-Junta.net has devised nicknames for every lens he was reviewing. Here's a few off the top of my head:



"Popeye" - Sigma 12-24

"Twinkles" - Sigma 14/2.8

"El Hombre" - Sigma 20/1.8

"Plastic Piston" - EF 90-300

"Crystal Vodka" - EF 135 SF

"Ugly Ducklings" - all the first generation EF primes (the abovementined 135 SF, 24/2.8, 35/2 etc.)

"Tokina AT-X Pro 17 mm f/3.5" - Tokina AT-X Pro 17 mm f/3.5. Uh, nevermind.



Here's a few of my own (heard somewhere or self-made):

Sigma 15-30 - "Lenin's Lightbulb"

KM 28-75 - "Tamrolta"

EF 17-35L - "Oldboy"

EF 70-200/2.8 L IS - "Tank" or "Tank Gun"
