Hi Roger,
For candids, I like 100-135mm, and for street shooting I'll often use
between 200mm and 400mm. I'll most often reach for a wide angle for nature
shots and city scapes. But, I find that 900f the time I can get the shot
using a focal length in the 70-85 range. May not be the most convenient
focal length for the shot, but with some effort it usually works. Guess
that's why I love my 35-70 f3.6 so much. So, if I had to choose one focal
length, given my shooting, it would be 85mm because I love that lens as well
and it makes for a nice little package mounted on an OM body.
