Wide (28mm in 35mm format) to around 70mm covers about 80-85%% of my shots. Up to now i've never had anything wider than a 28mm but i;ve recently got myself an da 12-24 and its growing on me fast.. I do use long tele's 200-300mm but i would say for no more than 10% the rest is mostly macro with

I use my FA 35/2 most often. I like the angle of view, and it's fast enough for indoor photography. If I need something a bit longer, I go with the FA 50/1.4. Either is great at a party or event. But I tend to go in cycles. In summer when I'm shooting more outdoors, I use the DA 16-45 and

What lenses do you find yourself using most often? Why? Long time experience with 35mm film cameras whittled my kit down to a 20mm, a 35-40mm, a 50mm and a 75-90mm lens, with a reserve of a 200mm for those occasional long shots. Nowadays, with 16x24 format, the 14, 21, 35, 50 and 77

What, isn't eveyone talking about with a digital camera. OK, I normally use a 135mm lens (OK, now I am talking about with the 4x5 graphic). Those who pay attention will note that all of those give about the same field of view as 35mm lens on 35mm film cropped to 24x32 or so. That is my
