Can others edit my Photos
Photos OK to edit
I was just curious what other people's most used focal length is. If you use Lightroom you can easily go into the library filter and you can add a column for focal length. Its really interesting to see what focal length you shoot at the most.

For me, its 12mm and a close second is 35mm.

Whats yours?
 
Wildlife: 300 (max on my longest zoom)
Walk-around: all over the map (another zoom) with perhaps bias towards 105 (max zoom there too)
Landscape: mostly in range of 30 to 60
Portrait: 50 to 105
Astrophotography: the wider and faster the better.
 
Portrait: 85mm or 200mm (I shoot with my small 85mm prime for long assignments and 200mm for the short intense ones)
Walk around: I use a point and shoot or my phone camera

Here's the list from my non-work catalogue

There's plenty of bias.
I used a D70s before I switched from iPhoto to Lightroom.
most of the photos from my iPhone4S and Nexus 6p never get downloaded to Lightroom.
Most of my shots from my D700 and D810 are in my work related catalogues (sorted by clients).

14-16682mm lens? Damn! I want one!!
 
for me it's 24mm, wide but not too distorty (new word :048:) wide
I've wanted to get a 24mm for a while for more interesting portraits. Either that or a 35mm. Usually I use an 85mm, but I'm starting to get bored with the look.

Hahha goodness. I have to go see which lens is giving such silly EXIF values.

It is a pre-production 14-42 µ43rds lens on an Olympus EP-1
