GH2 What lens do you keep on your GH2 the most?

Mine is the Sigma 30mm 1.4. Even though I have quite a few other lenses that clamor to be used, I keep on going back to that one without fail.
 
Indoors: Most often Panny 20mm pancake w/Black diffusion 3 filter.

Outdoors (sunlight): Most often Panny 14-140mm kit lens - it just works.

2nd place for everywhere: Canon FD 25mm f1.4
 
Vivitar 90mm 2.5 series 1 macro. Used mostly on a tripod, though.... anything above 50mm is too shakey.

If only the GH2 had inbody stabilization....
 
#1: Oly 11-22 f2.8-3.5 for 4/3

Close second: Sigma 18-50 f2.8 for 4/3.

Distant third: Lumix 14-140 f4-5.8
 
20mm 1.7. Great focal length, tiny, fast, affordable, and turns into a nice portrait lens with etc mode.

I'm really GASing for that 17.5mm Voigtlander though.
 
Sigma 24mm 2.8 Macro Super Wide II

It is already sharp wide open but is not too sharp for video like the Panasonic lenses, was around 60$ and is a great value for it if you are going budget and doing video just as a hobby. Macro function is a plus, you can get quiete close.
 
Rght now it's the 25mm voigtlander. BUT... Picked up a 35mm FD TS f2.8 which has been more and more often the go to... Been thinking of the 17mm canon TS but the price is keeping me from it.
 
I mostly only use 2 lenses.
1st most used, is the Nikkor 24mm f2.8 for almost everything.
2nd most used is the Panny 14-42m for wides. Considering replacing this with the Tokina 11-16 soon.
3rd, Nikkor 50mm f1.8 for occasional closeups but barely use it.

I also have a few other lenses that pretty much sit around collecting dust.
 
20mm pancake almost all the time. I'll use the kit lens for wides although I'd love a fast 12mm. A Nikon 50mm 1.7 for telephoto and I usually have a monopod when using 50mm and up. Given the option I'd trade for the 25mm F1.4.
 
Totally depends on what I'm shooting. General purpose for exteriors - panny 14-140. Interviews - contax zeiss 50mm f1.7. Lots of others in the bag, but those two mainly
