What's your favourite focal length?

[tayassu]

I love every focal length for their specific look and feel and I think it is most important that you very a lot.

For me, personally, I have taken my best images in the telephoto area between 144 (my Macro lens) and 300mm. There are some exceptions in the UWA area, though.

I find that more and more I reach for the same three lenses when I leave the house with the 6D: 15mm Fisheye, 35mm IS, 100mm L.

When I have the 7D, it's typically only two: the 17-40mm L and the 70-300mm L

I have a 50mm and a 24-105mm L that rarely ever get used.

That's about as narrow as I can make it.

 

[bholliman]

Tough call. Probably 50mm, but I like and use every focal length from 16mm to 400mm.

21mm ... I find I use my 16-35 most often in the 18-21 range. it'd be nice to have a fast 21mm prime, maybe like a 21mm f/2 IS? but I think that would be a tiny, tiny niche market

I prefer to frame a photo properly, rather than using 600mm when 35mm is proper or vice versa.

A favorite focal length just doesn't compute.

 

[TexPhoto]

420mm

My favorites range between my 8mm/3.5 Rokinon FE and my Canon 500/4 + 2XTC at 1000mm ... it all depends ...

The one I don't have........ yet

Which of your children do you like more? :-\

It depends on the time of day and how long since the last meal - the order changes.

First you have , later it's , then it all ends in :'(

 

[iron-t]

85mm. I love the perspective for portraits.

14-35-85-150

 

[Bennymiata]

Whichever one that gets me the shot I want!

My most used lens is my 24-105L.

 

[aussielearner]

Whatever gets me the shot. I can't say that I have a favourite.

I have an 18-35, 50 and 55-250. Usually I'm at either end of the telephoto lenses with not much in between.

 

[beforeEos Camaras]

in film it used to be 135 prime and 85mm prime fd mount lenses


in digital I still love the 50mm1.8 and the28-135 zoom also the 20-35 zoom.
so when not birding the 20-135 range with the 1.6 crop factor.

 

[DRR]

35mm gets me probably 80-90% of the shots I look to take.

 

[bereninga]

40mm has been good for general purposes.
