It's probably a toss-up between the 85/2 and the 24/2.8. I use the
24/2.8 much more now on digital (full-frame) than I ever did as a film
lens. I use the 85/2 very little now but I'd probably choose to keep it
over the 24 since the 85/2 I think would be much more difficult to
replace than the pedestrian 24/2.8
And despite what I just said my most used lenses (a walk-around pair)
were the 35-70/3.5-4.5 and the Kiron 70-150/4. But I know I'd have
chosen 24-70 if it was available.

It's "Survey Tuesday" here on the list. I'm going to ask a simple question:
What is/was your FAVORITE OM System (film) Lens.
This does not mean "best", but "favorite". It's the last lens you kept
or will keep. It's the lens that you would naturally gravitate to and
made the OM system for you. Also, please explain why.
I'll start this off: 100mm F2.8, final silver-nosed version.
Why: Very sharp, contrast just right, slightly warm, microcontrast and
perfect size/weight/handling.
