This is not a very scientific experiment; but I made a list of what I consider my best shots during the first six months of last year. There were 24 of them (out of about 3500 total shots taken on walks around the centre of Vienna), and I was interested to see what lenses I used.
The most used was the RF24-240mm -- at 240mm five times, 24mm three times, and at intermediate focal lengths four times (twice at 50mm, and at 130mm and 140mm), a total of 12 times.
Second was RF85 f/2 with 6 entries.
RF35mm f/1.8 had 3 entries
RF16 was last with 2 entries.
RF50 was not used at all during the period, nor were my two EF lenses (17-40 f/4, and 70-300 f/4-5.6).
I usually limit myself to one or two lenses when I go out on foot. Yesterday, I went out in the Prater with only the 85mm lens and realised that I would often have had better results with the 50 or 35mm. You live and learn!
I have attached one of the best of the 240mm shots -- taken around 8pm in late June 2022. It's not technically perfect; but I think interesting!
Which lens do you most commonly use?
