If you were to purchase only 2 lenses from the following, which would you go with and why:

- 14mm f 2.5
- 25mm f 1.4
- 45mm f 1.8
- 75mm f 1.8

Assume these would be use for day to day purpose as well as for travel.

I'd go for the 25; I love the focal length for general shooting, and it's a superb low light lens.  I'd also chooses the 45, obviously a great portrait lens, can be good for street, not bad for travel either.

I own both of these lenses, but I don't have the others on your list. I don't often feel the need for a 14mm prime lens, I have the 9-18 (which is a belter) which covers that length.I also have the 15 body cap lens, a nice fun lens.

As for the 75mm, I don't really have a 'need' for that lens, and if I did, at the mo' it's a bit rich for my blood. One day, maybe...
