I didn't need to check any statistics to know that my most used lens is the one currently mounted on my D610. That would be my walk around AF-S 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5 G ED VR.
After that it's probably a tie between my Nikkor 50mm f/1.4D and my 70-210 f/4-5.6D.
If I need more reach for wildlife, etc. it will be my Sigma 600mm f/8 mirror lens until I save enough pennies to buy something a bit sharper...and with AF as the Sigma is from 1986 and MF only like most mirror lenses.
I also plan to add a Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 shortly and anticipate that will get a goodly amount of use.

The one I used the most was on my iPhone XR. For some reason, maybe all the lockdown nonsense, I've done very little DSLR photography lately. I have two new twin grandsons so there has been some photography of them tha tI did for my daughter and son in law. That's about it. We gone anywhere so there isn't much that intersting enough to shoot. Maybe in 2020 ...

I haven't processed all my photos yet this year. I only count the photos I like best. So far, counting only my favorites for the year, the Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 was my most used lens, though if I'd had the Sigma 100-400 DG DN OS all year it might have caught up. The iPhone was third, with a much higher keeper percentage than previous years, because I started leveraging its strengths for more than just snapshots.

The Nikkor 500 F/5.6 PF and the Nikkor 800mm F/5.6 E were neck and neck.
Everything else was way behind.
