My Olympus 12-100 mm is my most used lens. However, in 2021 I am going to work to use my 45 mm f1.8 and my 60 mm macro more than I did in 2020.

Those FLs are within your 12-100 so it’s seems that you intend to work in dimmer light (45/1.8) and much closer distances (60 macro), though not in combination. Sounds like a plan !

Well, my most used lens has coincidentally been the same one for 63 years, the lens of my eye.

A Lumix 12-60 f/3.5-5.6 which lives on an Olympus OMD EM1 MkII as my grab-it kit. I have the same focal length range in the PanaLeica f/2.8-4.0 lens, too, but it's bigger and heavier, and the Lumix is good enough for the 8x8 B&W prints that I make at year end for the annual family photo books that go under Christmas trees. The older I get the more comfortable I'm becoming with the experience of "good enough" in photo equipment, after 50+ years of "only the best" thinking (my father started me off with a Leica IIIc in 1958, so that's my excuse.)

None yet.
(Only day four. I don't have to shoot daily.)

BTW - Which ONE was your most used?
Or did you take the same amount of pictures with each?

I meant to mention that but got distracted. As of today, 200-500mm= 1244, 35mm= 70 and the 85mm= 10.

Thanks for pointing that out.

:) The right. I wanted to be left handed as a kid which would have suggested left eye but it wasn't to be.

Someone asked "What was your most used lens for 2020"? How about this year?

I've used my Nikon 35mm f1.8, Nikon 85mm f1.8 and my Nikon 200-500mm.

500pF, 70-200, 200-500.

So far, 28-300 in my D850 and 200-500 on my D800e. Do about 20% on the D800e and the rest on the D850.
Plan to try to get time to go where I can use my 45mm Nikkor Tilt-Shift lens on the D800e when the restrictions lift.
