The 5D III with the 100-400 II mounted to it. I do a lot of bird action shots. I still use the 5D II and the range of lenses I have. Happy New Year

Paul, for me it's sort of a toss up between my 50mm f/4 Zeiss Distagon and my 90mm f/6.8 Schneider-Kreuznach.

The circa 1981 Canon FD 200mm f/4 macro was my #1 used lens for keepers (mounted to a Sony a7II). Merging all the extended configurations, last year's #1 lens was the second most frequent in 2019, the EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM (mounted to an EOS 5DIII).

The Fuji XF 16-80mm F4 R OIS WR lens on my X-T2. Incredible lens, and versatility. 24-120 FF equivalent.

Tamron SP 24-70 2.8 G2 is my go to lens for most situations. When I don't need the speed and weight would be a problem I use the Canon EF-S 17-55 kit lens that came with my T3i.

#1 is Sigma 100-600mm C lens. It has been a heavy bird & wildlife year.
#2 is EF 24-105L lens. It's my walk around choice.
#3 is EF 70-300 II nano. It's my zoo lens.
All used on EOS 6D Mk II.

Since I carry my Canon G16 on practically every one of my bike rides, my most used would be the 6.1 (W) - 30.5 (T) mm (35mm film equivalent: 28-140mm). A distant second after that, a Sigma 100-400 attached to a 6d2.

My most used lens for 2020 was probably my Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8 and equally my Nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6.

Of my dozen lenses my most used last year was the Tamron 17-50 f2.8 on all of my DX cameras. Second was the Nikkor AF-D 28-105 3.5-4.5.
