Tray having just one prime lens....that will challenge you.
There are "street photographers" that only use one lens their whole career.
Peace
That's right -- it's usually a 50mm. And they get some amazing shots.

Fyi, that Voigtlander is a manual focus lens.
I'd love a tilt/ shift lens, too. For the price, I'll stick to fixing converging verticals in post processing!
I don't mind manual focus. I kind of like it for those occasions when I want to slow down and think about what I'm shooting. I've got 3 manual focus lenses for my Nikon and many for my Pentaxes.
Also, I noticed Nikon a used Nikon 45mm manual focus pancake lens for sale. If funds weren't so tight, I'd grab it in a second. I might try to finagle it anyway.
Very true. There are times I'll go out with just one lens and I find it forces me to be more creative with composition and content... shooting things that I wouldn't normally "see" with another lens, or a bag full of them.
I do this, too, and I love the challenges it presents.
Tough call for me. I prefer primes. I mostly shoot landscapes and generic snapshots. One lens - probably the 24-120G VR.
From what I own, I'd say the AF-S DX Nikkor 17-55mm F2.8G ED-IF. I just wish for a little less gravity!
Nikkor Ai-P 45mm f/2.8.
Great focal length (Fx), quite good optical quality and tiny!
I purchased a secondhand Nikkor 24-70 f2.8, because I needed one at short notice, it actually wasn't that expensive, but I use it all the time especially in the studio, it even has a micro capabillity, but its a really sharp much underrated lens
I wouldn't be very happy trying to stick with one lens since I prefer using primes, but I have noticed I adapt my style to whatever lens I take for the day. I've become accustomed to using 85mm on a crop sensor, so now that I have picked up a FF DLSR, I've decided to purchase a Zeiss 135/2.0 for the type of work I plan on doing with the camera. It's ironic, since I rarely shot 135 on FF film, but I guess that would be my choice now.
Nikon 400mm f-2.8 with 1.4x,1.7x and 2x teleconverters. Convenience of accessories.
Next lens i want, ohh lol i realised i want 5 lenses, but the one i am most certain to buy will be the Sigma 70-200 2.8, But I'm really unsure, should i save up and get the Nikkor instead?!
If i am better off waiting for the Nikkor ill just get a 85mm 1.8G.
To awnser the question of the one and only lens i would want, Would have to be a 35mm
The Nikon 70-200 is my favorite lens - I had the VRI and now the VRII...don't know about the Sigma as I haven't used it, but I have been very happy with both of the Nikons - I prefer the VRII, but either would keep me happy! Taken many photos with each at about every possible place in the zoom range at f/2.8 and been happy with the results...Just in the photos I was going through last night I had some nice shots at 70, 88, 101, 140, 180ish, 200 and that is from memory when I actually looked at the setting - which I really don't care about as long as I get my shot...just letting you know it works well across the full zoom range...
There are SO many great lenses to choose from. For only 1 it would have to be a great all-around shooter.
Let's go with Nikkor 18-105mm.
It's actually very good. I've gotten some great bird shots with it. Here are a couple:
Hope that helped.
WOW! Love the way the light hits the wings in 7353.
