What is your most used Lens/focal length

I'm trying to see what distance most people shoot at. You know... whats your comfort zone for your pictures.
It dosen't have to be a certain lens. I notice I shoot more at 17mm with my Tammy 17-50mm.

Thanks Everyone
Jack

300mm. (It varies a lot, but that's my most used prime FL, and is within the zoom range of my most used zoom.)

I really like my 40mm pancake as its focal length is about what the human eye sees. I hardly use the kit lens anymore unless I absolutely need the wider angle.

What's on the K10D

K10D
In terms of time on body, the FA35/2 is semi-perma mounted to the K10D, but I might shoot 5 to 10 images at a time.

In terms of number of images on my hard drive, DA55~300 above 250. That's because I use it to shoot my son playing Lacrosse and I might take 200 shots at a game.

I could get by with just those two lenses - and maybe I should!! Pretty evenly divided otherwise since other lenses are mounted for specific purposes.

KX, MESuper
Stored with lenses unmounted, so whatever is necessary for the day each time I use them.

SPF
55mm. Or 50mm.
Just got it Tuesday - first roll not complete yet.

I'm pretty much with Monochrome. When the 70-300 is on the camera, I'm taking a lot of shots with it. But I usually have one of my wider lenses on it.

Seems to be around 35-50mm for me. I wish Lightroom would implement the focal length search already.

I think, I use the 16-50 mostly (and the 28-70 in film days), but the 70-200 with emphasize on the longer end, is nearly equivalent.

Recently the K 200 2.5 spends more time on the camera than most.

I've found that most of my shots so far have been around 35mm. I've only had my camera since September and I'm still shooting with the 18-55mm kit, so we'll see what the average is when I've had a few more shots (and another lens or three) under my belt. Very interesting question though.
