Well yes.  I don't have the experience or choice of lenses of many on 
this list, but my two most worked lenses just now are the 135 3.5 and 
the 28 2.8.  When I use the 50 I tend to try the 1.5 teleconverter on 
it.  As for 135 being too long inside (depending on your housing), I 
think too many people try to fit head and shoulders too often and 
aren't adventurous enough at cropping out the background to get only 
part of the head etc.

Just my tuppence...
