I shot with 35mm as my 'normal' for a long time, interchanged that with 
85mm and 20mm. I gravitate back towards the 50mm lens, but still find it 
just a bit long for a lot of stuff. All depends upon my mood. One of the 
reasons I enjoy using my Rollei 35s so much is that I find the 40mm lens 
very natural for much of the photography I like. 

I bought the Contax TVS whose VarioSonnar covers my usual range well, 
28-56mm zoom. I find that I have it set at 40-45mm focal length a lot of 
the time, quite without thinking about it.
