A great reason to own the 40mm pancake!  It's a lens that likes to go everywhere and it makes the whole camera feel smaller.

I have a bunch of favorites, but no single favorite at the moment.

The one that meets the needs. As I do not own all too many at the time and never will. For being short of a WA at the moment coming from crop, the 28 F/2.8 is first choice when it comes to nightscapes. Otherwise I am really discovering the 50 F/1.4 as a fine prime for lowlight. Later this year I guess I'll go for the classic 16-35 range and a few years from now I'd like to go for a 14-24 should it ever hit the shelves...But preferably I will burn the money for another 5D two product cycles from now (2018).

I also forgot to add, 100mm F2.8 macro USM.  This is one of the best lens I've ever used that's why I dream of an FF so I can use it more.  Also the 50mm F1.8 II.

135mm f/2.  It is responsible for a very high percentage of my recent favourites.
