Currently the M8 gets used with the 21 Summilux 
the most; before I had that I used the 28 
Summicron and the WATE probably equally. I've 
used the 12 CV a fair bit, but I've gotten away 
from that somewhat because all shots have to be 
cleaned up with cornerfix, and sometimes that 
doesn't work so I have to convert the shot to B&W 
whether I want to or not.

On FF Canons I use the 12-24 Sigma, and the 17 
and 24mm TSE lenses get used the most. The 17 TSE 
when shifted horizontally to the max in both 
directions and then the two images stitched 
results in the equivalent of 10.5mm on FF in 
terms of coverage.

On film I use the 21's a lot, and often 15 and 
12. On 4x5 I got down to 35mm (which gives the 
equivalent of a 10.5mm lens on 35mm film) and on 
120 the Roundshot uses the 28, for 360?+ shots.

But then, wideangle is what I do mostly.
