Feel free to elaborate.

For example, I have no problems using wide-angles on APS-C, but I just can't get my head around them on full-frame. Might be because I pick wider focal lengths for their perspectives, not their fields of view.

Either that or I'm just terrible at using anything with a wider FOV than ~50mm on FF ;)

I personally love to shoot in the 50mm-135mm range.

my absolute favorite is the 10-15mm range, however its not very practical in most situations.

my 70-200 is what i always keep on my camera, love that range, but im often using my 17-50, the long lens can be to long.
however i want to move to a 24-70L that little bit of extra length would do what i need.

but then if im out at the track the 70-200 never leaves the camera, often with the 2x tele.

im kinda all over the place lol. but after trying the canon 24-70 2.8L, if i got that, it would be my favorite.

I like my 50mm f1.8 but not sure if it's because of the length or because of the f1.8 as it's too close sometimes.

28-135 is on the camera most of te time, but scored a 300 f4 a few weeks ago and hasn't left the camera except for a few hours tonight when the 50 1.8 went for a walk on the beach...

I'm quite liking a 35mm and 85mm combo at the moment.
