DA40 with high ISO. pop up flash when needed.

A 35-70mm f4 stays on my camera 90% of the time unless I'm going out to shoot something specific. When I'm at parties I usually bump up the iso to 800 and let er rip.

da35 when the evening is still young, later on high iso, even more later on, if he is there too, my husband, he doesn't drink

Sigma 30 1.4 normally, sigma 10-20 and a flash bouncing on ceiling/walls if I'm in the right mood.

I might use my fish-eye for some funny looking pictures, or my superzoom 28-200mm for versatility.

wide enough for most places, fast enough, perfwctly cropable if needed, good AF, outstanding IQ.

Yeah, i believe it's the best... I mean, the sigma 30 is just a 31 for less money (and less quality!

)

To my own surprise I never poured beer or something else over my precious equipment. Well, it is sealed but I don't want to take it that far. And also I never dropped it - which is almost a wonder thinking about my own and the others condition in a party "situation".
So, regardless of the outer circumstances I take the lens that does it best - which mostly is the DA* 16-50 - it's simply the most versatile. Also my Metz 48 AF-1. That camera is big, so using a smaller lens won't help making it less obvious.
