[QUOTE="stmv, post: 107155, member: 10038"] Well,, because I have been collecting for 40 years, I have a wide selection,, but... I do find myself favoring certain lens.. Wide angle - 28 mm it just seems to be the right width on the FX,, Often I am unhappy with the 20 mm,, and find myself selecting the 28 more often. Macro -> 105 it just places you the right distance from the object for me,, I have the 55 or 60,, but 8/10 I select the trusty 105 (like the image I just posted today in the favorite 800 photos). Mid range Zoom -> 35-70 2.8,, just because it is so darn sharp, and small. maybe if I owned the 24-70 I would pick that,, not sure. long range Zoom -> 80-400,, when you need the reach,, it is just there. and seems to be producing sharp enough images. I tend to use most of my lens,, over time,, those are just the ones I often grap most often.. I keep reminding myself.. like the 85 mm range,, etc,,, but,, when I just want to grab a few lens and go... it makes you think what you absolutely want to carry that day, and be able to hit 95% of any shot. so.. what lens are you gravitating too?
