Interesting, my 31LTD was my most favoured lens pre-DSLR, now it hardly sees any use, same as my A20/2.8. Apart from the fact that the 20 isn't quite up to the standards of the other lenses I tend to either shoot my A16/2.8 or my A24/2.8 on the wide side, nothing between. My A15/3.5 hardly gets used these days.
