Most frequently used lens

[zdenek]

Hello,
Is it possible (generally) to specify what lens is used most frequently?

Depends on the job at hand.

Portrait shooters will not have much use for WA lenses.

Those who are interested in architecture will like the 40 and the 50 mm WA lenses a lot.

Others will be delighted with the 80 mm and do a lot of legwork to get what they want.

if i only had one lens available to me it would be the 80mm Zeiss 2.8

It depends on the location of the subject, on what I want to include or not include, on the desired perspective, exposure, desired depth of field, and on film type and speed.

I mostly use the CF120 and CFi100, both with film and with the CFV-39 back.

By sheer numbers, the 80/2.8 is certainly the most abundant lens in the V lineup. I would also venture that it is the lens most used.

 

[zdenek]

Thank you. I agree that it is 80/2.8.

CF 4/50FLE wins hands down for me

I have 60mm, but i which to get 50mm, my problem is i bought that 60 used, and i may buy 150mm used, so i want at least to buy one new fresh completely new lens, and this one is the 50mm, but it is more expensive than i expect, wish if i can find 50mm CF cheap new(not used or like new) not that CFi or CFE.

Yes, 50/4 is a great lens. I plan to buy a new one. I was offered a discount from a local dealer but the sum is still quite high. It's a pity that 180/5.6 is now available only in ZV (=very expensive ) version.

5.6?

Plenty of excellent used ones (180/4.0) around at bargain prices.
