What’s Your Favourite Focal Length?

51V5s7MP7WL._SL500_AA280_.jpgLast night I was looking back over a lot of the images that I’d taken of my kids and realised that while I use a zoom lens (a 24-105mm f/4) for a lot of my every day shooting that many of the images I take were around the 80-85mm focal length.  

It’s an odd one because if you’d asked me to guess what length I shoot at I would have probably said 105mm as that’s as far as the lens goes – but perhaps I’m zooming right in and then widening a little before shooting.

It got me wondering what focal length others find themselves shooting at most?

Go back through your last 50 or so shots and see what you’re shooting at and let us know!

PS: now I’m seriously wondering if I can justify the expense of the Canon EF 85mm f1.2L II USM Lens (pictured right)!
