1. 90 macro - it allows me to forget about hitting lens closest focus distance; nice for portraits, city shots, macros and whatnot.
2. 50 - the most pleasurable lens to use; small, light, fast, sharp, low distortion, convenient field of view. what else could you dream of ?
3. 135 - more compression and background separation than 90. Great for outdoor portraits. tend to use the 90 instead because of closer min focus distance.
4. 200 - even more compression and background sep than the 135. More difficult to handle too. Great portrait lens if you have enough space.
5. 28 - way too many things in the frame. nearly unused.

Ranked by frequency of use it's: 1. 50mm/1.7 -- all-purpose, light and fast 2. 16mm/2.8 fisheye -- *really* wide (think a cathedral top to bottom from across the street). besides, i do like the distortion 3. 24mm/2.8 -- just wide and very rectangular 4. 135mm/3.5 -- portraits and whenever i want to compress perspective. This is my walkaround kit, together with Bogen table tripod. The rest (35mm, 85mm, 105 macro and 200mm) is used very infrequently.
