poll...favourite daily carry lens?

[mc_vancouver]

35/1.7 Ultron. I do like the 50 but its too tight for everyday use. And the 25 is neat, better for off the hip shooting.

 

[bobkonos]

For me it's the 35. My M6 and 35 Summicron are rarely separated from each other or my "man purse."

 

[Flinor]

I definitely am a 50 kind of guy. The only time I don't mount a 50 is on the RD-1, then it's a 35 which gives me a 52 FOV.

Summitalux. Or Summaronoct.

 

[Dougg]

Hard to answer, really, because I mostly use 40 and 28, and their equivalents in 645 format too. So I'm about 50% with ya, Joe!

 

[ghost]

generally speaking
outside: 50mm
inside: 28mm

The sacred fifty!

 

[markinlondon]

50, either Elmar or Nokton, usually the Elmar.

35 all the way; either a Biogon 35 ZM or a Voigtländer Pancake II 35/2.5. I rarely need anything else than a 35. If so, it's a 25 in tight quarters, of a 50 for a little pull. Now somebody deter me please from acquiring that 35/1.2 Nokton as well. Cheers.

I'm the 4th voter for the 28mm. Love, love, love it! 🙂 I rarely take that lens off my camera.

 

[sebastel]

are these FL 35mm film related?
on my R-D1 my current favourite is 28mm (that compares to 42mm in film), so should i tick 28mm or 35mm?

ok, i tick 35mm (since that was my favourite when i still used film)

Voigtlander 25mm f 4 Skopar

Voigtlander 25mm f 4 Skopar

I love that it's as wide as it is, and that it doesn't seem to distort at the edges and corners like the 21mm Skopar, or a 24mm lens on my SLR. And it's sharp. When you get used to the 3 click stops on the focus ring, you can set the distance without even looking down at the lens. The Bessa L and Skopar 25mm...a classic and excellent combination, and it's also a great bargain.

J-8 50mm,Fed2,in my backpack all the time.

Right on!

I've been think of giving the Bessa L a try soonish with the 21 Skopar!

 

[jaapv]

I have a problem.. mine is (at the moment) either a 24 or a Tri-Elmar....
the poll caters for neither.):

 

[arky]

Most of the time I have my compact J-8 and sometimes CV 35/PII

I like to carry a camera with the Nikkor 5cm/2 whenever I can, but I also like the Canon 28mm/3.5 because it is so tiny.

50 has taken the lead...
