But after buying the Kobalux 21/2.8 and CV 28/3.5 a couple of years ago (and the Zeiss 21 for my Contaxes), I seem to have gone more into wide angle mode. This corresponds with a shift in my subject matter from street photography (where there is an advantage to standing a bit further away to catch people unawares) to interior shooting and landscapes.
