There's no one answer.... for me it's the 12/2, 20/1.7 and 45mm F/1.8 together I have no need for any other lenses and I could sell every other lens I owned and combine them with the 75-300.

Me too. Those are the only primes I own. However If didn't own the 12mm I would of bought the 15mm or 17mm instead of my 20mm. But I love my 20mm lens. It's my favorite lens. Also I don't use the 12mm or 45mm nearly as much.

I've really grown to love the 20mm's FL, tho originally I largely chose for it's combination of price, sharpness, and small size... Having it kinda led me to the 12mm too. If the 14/2.5 was a 12/2.5 I might've settled for that.

The 15/1.7wasn't out when I bought the 20 but I doubt it would've changed much, still larger, pricier, and a little too wide for all around use for me.
