Lenses (roughly in order of preference):

[Micro Four Thirds:]

Lumix G 25mm f/1.7 (universal, fast, sharp, what a bargain!)

M,Zuiko 12-50mm f/3.5-6.3 (versatile and weatherproof)

Sigma 56mm f/1.4 (fast and sharp even wide open, awesome portrait lens for the money)

Laowa 7.5mm f/2 (wide, rather expensive for all-manual)

M,Zuiko 40-150mm f/2.8 (telephoto for low light)

M,Zuiko 75mm f/1.8 (nice portrait lens, but needs room and is pricey; also works well for sports in low light)

M,Zuiko 45mm f/1.8 (good portrait lens, reasonably priced)

Walimex 7.5mm f/3.5 fisheye (when wide is not wide enough)

M,Zuiko 75-300mm f/4.8-6.7 II (to really zoom in)

M,Zuiko 30mm f/3.5 macro (for tiny subjects)

M,Zuiko 60mm f/2.8 macro (for tiny subjects that need some distance)

M,Zuiko 40-150mm f/4-5.6 (lightweight and inexpensive)

M,Zuiko 17mm f/1.8 (useful focal length and speed, but somewhat soft wide open and lots of barrel distortion => overpriced, imo)

Lumix 20mm f/1.7 (returned because of slow autofocus)

[Canon mount:]

Sigma 50mm f/1.4 (sold in changing to mFT)

Canon 60mm f/2.8 macro (sold in changing to mFT)

Canon 50mm f/1.4 (sold b/c of offending bokeh wide open)

Canon 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS (sold b/c it's just too slow for my liking)

Nothing for me to see in your profile and photostream? Your chances of getting blocked by me are pretty good. If you don't like that, you could easily prevent it! (-:

One more thing: Should you wish to invite any of my pictures to a flickr group, please make sure that group's contents are publicly viewable. Otherwise, I'll have to decline.
