Obviously, and somehow intrinsic to the term "best lens of XXXX" there is
the hidden question "best ... in which way ... and for what purpose?".
If I told you, the the EF 50/1.8 is the best Canon lens ... this would be entirely
the truth, at least from the viewpoint of optical quality per money spend. You
really cant beat the ratio produced by this lens. On the other side, this information
is completely irrelevant to you, if you need an ultrawide lens (or a tele lens).
You can eventually reduce the question to something like: For a given need (like portrait,
wide-anlge/landscape ... wildelife ... etc) what is "the best" (regardless of cost)....
and what is "the reasonable" (in terms of good quality but still affordable to mortals).
In the end, you get a list that tells you what you should buy, and what you would
buy (if you could) if (and only if) your interest is in one of the purposes named.
But reduced to what you asked ... "what is the best" ... you cannot really expect
a good answer.
