On my M42 Prakticas my favourite normal lens was the Zeiss 
2.4/35, used it about twice as much as the Zeiss 1.8/50. Both were 
fantastic lenses. (Recently I sold all my M42 gear except the Zeiss 
1.8/80.)

On my Pentaxes, I had only a Chinon 2.8/35 and the Pentax M 
1.4/50 was so much better that it wasn't a question. Last week I 
sold the Chinon and bought a Pentax M 2/35. It feels very well on 
my LX, so chances are that I'll be back to the 35mm normal soon...

I'm not a huge fan of the standard 50/55mm lens, actually.  Last time I
shot with my SV I used the 35mm f2.  It worked better for landscape-type
photos and let me include more of the environment in my people
shots.  It's the old "time and a place for everything" deal.  Sometimes
50mm is the right focal length, or I just need the speed.

I suspect, that a 50mm may not be the standard lens for many people.  I
switch between the FA* 85 f:1.4 and the FA* 43 f:1.9 limited.  My 50 gets
very little use since getting the 43 limited.

Just Curious! How many of you use 35 mm lens as a standard lens instead of 50 mm lens? 
Since I bought FA 35 f2.0, I have used this lens more often than  FA 50 mm f1.7 lens. 
With thanks
