Canon 18-135 USM (latest iteration). Covers most everything and saves a lot of lens changing.

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).

Most used on my Canon 7DII for sports (which this year was not much due to the pandemic) Canon 70-200 f 2.8 L.
Favorite used on my Canon 5DII and 7DII is the Sigma 24-70f 2.8. For 2020 my most used lens....

Without a doubt my Canon EF 28-135 IS, next would be my 100-400 EF IS L lens.

Fabulous reference to the Lightroom Dashboard program. Nice to have.
I use my RF 24-105 the vast majority of the time. The second most was my EF-24 which is part of my lightweight travel set. I use them both on my EOS R, the latter using Canon's adaptor.
And thank you for the reference. Sincerely appreciated.

I couldn’t agree with you more! I just figured that i was not photographically savvy. I don’t want to spend 15-20 minutes on each photograph! Especially when I shoot 300-350 photos on Christmas Eve while with family.
