What are my best lenses? Technically at least that is easy to work out based on my own observations and the many test bench reviews available.
75mm f1.8 The surgical instrument (and my dearest lens now the zooms are gone).
25mm f1.8 The "perfect" all-rounder
45mm f1.8 The gentle portrait expert (and the cheapest lens)
17mm f1.8 The street specialist
75-300mm The surprise packet
Ok, that was as easy as it was irrelevant.
What are my most used lenses?
17mm The first picked up for anything non portrait
75-300mm The handy, do-anything tele. It is amazing how often it produces brilliant images.
45mm The natural lens for portraiture or anything that needs a natural look.
75mm Not as versatile as the zoom, nor as gentle and easy to use as the 45.
25mm Still coming to terms with the role this one will play.
Almost a perfect inversion. There you go. I could have saved a lot of money if I knew this at the beginning!
Does it matter which lens took the image? As soon as you start looking at an image, the how turns into who, where, why and when.
