So, tell us, what's your favourite lens (and why) ?
It's like trying to pick a favourite child

This is a trap question Jamie!
Let's see…
I have 4 bodies and 16 lenses from 14 to 600mm.
I think I prefer the one that gets the job done when
it should be.
… a trap question really.
What do you really want to know?
It's like trying to pick a favourite child (easy if you're honest - impossible if you have to think about it).
I've been saying this for a while.35mm is rather popular then. All the more baffling that the 'big two' do not offer that equivalent focal length in a fast/small prime for their APS-C bodies.
Canon do a 23mm for the M series though
Coming from analog 24x36 using a 50mm quite often getting into aps—c digital I bought a 24mm f1,8 zeiss. Im strugling with that one, really wanting to like it and use it more but Im having a hard time finding my way around its field of view etc. A pity since its a great lens and on paper fit right into my kit.I've been saying this for a while.

I think the resurgence of the 35mm is a direct result of iphoneography, most phone cameras have a lens with a similar field of view. The 35mm prime was out of fashion for about 50 years, with only rangefinder shooters really favouring it. Now all of a sudden, it's everyone's BFF, quite a dramatic change.
35mm focal length.
To be specifically, the Canon 35L, now the mk2.
Why? I take around 50% of all my photos at this focal length, I find this focal length natural to my eyes, I am comfortable with this focal length. I like the 35L's colours, focus, sharpness, bokeh. I have taken some of my favourite images from it more than any other (statistically it will be that way too).

And for some crop Nikons there's a small 24mm.
I estimated my iPhone at about 33mmI thought most phone cameras are ~28mm-e
