If you could only take one lens..
Bearing in mind that the 'standard' lens on 35mm was a 50mm, the answer to the ultimate question for an APSC dslr is obviously '42' (mm) !!!

Just remembered - Douglas Adams knew the answer all along.

So does that mean a 28mm prime to give 42mm equivalent then?
Presumably that would be something that could cope with the widest range of subject matter. The 31mm won't be much help in many situations, lovely lens though it may be.
was puzzled why no love for fa31. superb image quality, compact enough, fast, beauty. on pentax, definitely first pick. probably on ff as well, as i never tried 43. love 77 as well...
I interpreted the OP as 'which lens that you own'. Don't suppose many of us have the FA31 ?
Then I'd take a variety of bodies (Film, APSC, Q, etc.) in order to give the lens even more versatility.
If you only get one lens you've got to truly love it, right ?
Spot on Mate. If I took a jack of all zoom with me I'd be pining for my prime ;O)

I love the focal lengt range .
It is light and very easy to use.
And it only cost me $40.- including a SFX which I never use.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.
