90mm and 180mm.
Regards,
Bob, I probably use the 210mm focal length more than any other.
210mm for me too.
The 90mm and 65mm are the ones the get out of the bag most often.
Bob: Do you intend this as a different question from the usual "if you could only have one lens..." question? The fact that people use a particular lens the most often probably doesn't mean (or doesn't necessarily mean) that same lens would be the one and only lens they would want to have on hand.
Another vote for 210mm.
Kevin: My question really is, I guess, where most people shoot in this format; whether towards gentle wide or short telphoto. It appears the 210mm is popular. I have the 150mm and am looking towards that second lens.
Bob, If you have a 150mm lens I would suggest a 240mm if your next requirement is a longer lens. I have a 150 and 210 and these are closer in length than I would like. If I were starting over I would perhaps get a 90,135,210 and 305. As it is I have a 90, 150, 210 and 305 and the 150 and 210 are too close while the 90 and 150 gap may be a little big.

Bob: In that case, what matters is whether you find yourself out in the field with that 150, most often wishing you had something a little wider or a little longer. I think something in the 110-120 range is a must, so for me that would be next, followed as soon as I could afford it by a 210 or 240. A three lens combination of 120/150/210 or 110/150/210-240 is very, very versatile. And the 240 would be something small and light like a G Claron, not one of those mounted in a Copal 3.
