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 find my 20mm lens is my most frustrating, I'm just not good with normal lenses and prefer wide angles or telephotos. That's not saying it's a bad lens, it's just something that challenges me to get the most out of it.

Most likely it's the fact that I have an aversion to getting close enough to make it really work well. It can be a bit flat when you use it from long distance, but get a bit closer with it and it works well.
