Curious to know what lenses are the most popular outside the normal lengths.

I also use a 21mm and 40mm on my Leica and a 105mm on my Nikon. You missed those, especially the 21.

My line-up is 21-35-50-85.
3.4/21mm Super-Angulon and 2.0/85mm Jupiter-9 with a Carl Zeiss Jena Optical block, 1950. The 35 and 50 are Summiluxes.

I often use the 35mm lens as my moderately wide angle lens when I use the 50m lens as the normal lens. I use the 25mm lens as a wide angle lens, and also tne 21mm lens on other days. The 75mm and 90mm enses are my chosen tele lenses.
For extreme wide angle, I use a 7.5mm lens. I also like to use a 17mm and a 19m lens at times. I use whatever I have.

I did miss them, sorry! This is my first poll, do you know a way I can add them in or is the damage permanent?
None, I only use 35mm and 50mm equiv lenses.

Leica: 35/50/85 is what I own.
Pentax: 24/35/50/90 is my standard kit.

I only use a 28mm because I have been inspired visually by movies more than photos.
I prefer a zoom lens for real-time cropping.
For B&W film I preferred 50mm and for color 28mm.

There are a couple of threads on the 21mm, although I do not own one (at the moment) it most likely have received a number of votes. The 18mm as well . . . . .
I also do have a 40mm.

For rangefinder have 21, 35, 90 and looking for a 50.
For my much better established SLR it runs; 24, 35, 50, 55 macro, 85, 135, and 200.
I have found that my lens list is complete except for the 50 RF lens. Don't need anything else.
Almost forgot a 500mm f8 preset T mount for the SLR. Bought it on a whim for $12. Don't know if it is any good, haven't shot with it. It's almost useless to me because closest focus is 31 feet.
