I think more interesting than which lens would be focusing choices and burst mode choices and other setup items.

We're these done with pre-focussing? Shutter priority or better to fix the aperture? Shot in Monochrome? Burst mode to capture the moment?

My two Bob's worth......

AF on, but silent

Silent shutter

3 bracket at 0.7 apart, giving you 3 slightly different exposures and expressions

Not a bad idea for cameras such as m43 and smaller.

On Eric Kim's advice I moved from A to Ps (much better imo)

If using AF perhaps but with zone focussing you need to know how big that zone is hence A mode or M.

3 different ISO settings stored as memory.... good light, medium and poor?

Another good idea.

I try NEVER to raise the camera to my eye. Swivel and tilts are a godsend?

Me neither but I wish I had the balls to sometimes. Best to have all options available to you and use whatever fits the moment.

Always shoot in Monochrome RAW. You still retain that colour option and those LR

luminance sliders can have a dramatic effect on a b&w....

I've been experimenting with RAW+jpeg only recently. I accidentally did a shoot in jpeg only with my NX500 and was impressed with the results jpeg gave so yes a b&w jpeg can save you wasting time in post.
