What is your favorite focal length?

[Tapeman]

If you had to choose one focal length for all your shooting what would it be?

I know in these days of DSLRs & bags full of lenses it's a difficult choice.

OK how about two then?

Mine would be 28mm & 135mm. (35mm equivilant)

When I was shooting film, my favorite was a Vivitar 135mm... Mainly because all my other lenses were at least f5.6 or slower, and the 135 was f2.8.

Since you didn't mention price 8) , and limiting myself to available lenses for the 10D:

Canon EF 24mm f/1.4L USM (~35 mm on film camera)
Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L USM (~135 mm)

The 24/1.4mm would stay on the camera unless I were shooting candids and portraits of people or action events.

If limited to one lens, it would be the 50mm/1.4.

I'd have to rediscover myself to live without zooms. :shock:

50mm f/1.4 or f/1.8

Great focal length for D10, is my most used lens until weather permits me to get in the woods.

28mm. My "first" camera was my father's AE1-Program and it had that and his 50mm prime. I like the 28mm. It seemed to give more options that any other prime lens.

28mm and 80mm (35mm equivalences) so the dRebel kit lens (29-88 equivalence) and the 50/1.8 (80mm equiv) work fine to me :)

Filled nearly 2 gigs with the trusty 500 this afternoon! :wink:
