I like the results, but it does sound technical. I think 1 and 2 are my favourites. Now to find some marbles cause I want a go.

Interesting that despite the theoretical better performance of primes, zooms are proving most popular in this discussion. With the 18-135 and the 50-135* getting particular praise. I would have to agree that the 50-135* is a very fine lens, large but lovely. I wish the 16-50* was as good.
Interesting lenses used by Davidwozhere.

Interesting that you often pick it up in preference to the 16-85. It's a lens I feel I would like, but really can't justify it with what I already have. I'm good at buying not so good at selling.
Like me versatility wins the day.

Greetings Peter, that's a two lens set up that covers most that anyone is likely to encounter. I also have the 55-300 and find it a very good performer.

Mike-P, sorry to hear you've lost your photography mojo. I guess we all have our ups and downs. 3 months is longer than I've managed without taking a photo. Mind you when I go out walking with my wife I think she wouldn't mind if I would stop taking photographs AND she keeps telling me to put the cutlery back in the draws!

Looks good to me. I look forward to seeing more photographs being added.

I've had my K-S2 and 18-135 for nearly a year now and I've been very pleased with both.
It started me thinking about how much I've been using the 18-135mm lens, it's compact, light and produces pleasing/good images through most of its range.
I've had the lens for 11 months and have 2215 photographs in my catalogue taken with it. This set me thinking, how much have I been using my other lenses. I found the results below quite interesting.
All figures below are over about 3 years except for the 18-135 which is 11 months
35*mm macro 796
50-135* 3301
16-50* 3065
18-50WR 752
150-500 Sigma 1053
10-20 Sigma 913
8mm Samyang Fisheye 489
Tamron 90mm Macro 344
18-135 2215 in just 11 months
Given how good some of these lenses are just goes to show how I've been going for light weight convenience, and happily so. My most recent cutlery shots were done with the 18-135mm, I'm happy with them!
What lenses do you find yourselves using and why?

Cheers
Nigel

I have the Sigma 10-20mm and am also very happy with it. My first copy was not good SRS changed it for another which is great. Had a few years of using it and still very happy.
PS. I also find myself happy to stitch photos together these days, different results as mentioned earlier, also bigger files.

Thank you John, Merry Christmas.

My thoughts

Both nice shots, I agree with you. The lighting is always going to make No. 2 the best for me.
In No.1 the flowers at the bottom of the frame are too dominant, I'd play with cropping most of them off.

It looks like an interesting area. A lovely set with No.3 being the stand out shot for me.
