Certain lenses have gained nicknames in user communities. The ones I know are names of affection, but maybe there are ones with a negative meaning too.
Here are 4 that I know of:
- Nifty fifty (Canon EF 50mm f1.8)
- Beercan (Minolta 70-210mm f4)
- Magic drainpipe (Canon EF 80-200mm f2.8 L)
- Cream machine (Nikon AF 85mm f1.4 D)
Which other names of affection have been given to certain lenses?

Well if you really want to find more..... Google 'lens nicknames'
examples: Nikon 18-200VR 'The Creeper' (no prizes there)
Canon MP-E 65 'Magic Mole' (well search me - why?)
