It's been a while since I shared my Canon FD case and since there are a couple of new additions, it is high time!
The 50mm F1.8 is probably my favorite, though all of the lenses are utterly spectacular*. The 20mm F2.8 is wonderful and produces exceptional images. The 100mm F4 Macro is just great. The two portrait lenses (100mm F2.8 and 135mm F3.5) are different in focal length and rendering and both have a special place in my heart. Everything looks great through that 135 and the 100 is so damn sharp.
The FTb is my Desert Island Camera** and the new addition is the AV1 which I gave to my girlfriend last year for her birthday. She didn't fall in love with it and I actually forgot it was the AV1, which is Aperture Priority and my preference, and not the Shutter Priority AE1. Silly me! All this time it's been waiting for me to adopt it. And so I did. It had the 35-70mm F4 lens on the front. I haven't developed a roll shot with this lens yet but am looking forward to see the results to see where and how it will fit into the collection. Whether it does or doesn't will be the deciding factor in which of the other lenses that I have my eye on will finally end up in the KEH shopping cart.***
Ilford HP5 is still my favorite B&W film. Colour I am still torn between Superia, Portra and Pro400H. And let's not even talk about slide film...
* The Sigma 50mm macro is a good lens but I don't love it. Not as good as the 50mm Canon and not as good a Macro as the 100mm F4 either. Perhaps I just don't want an empty space. I think it'll be replaced soon...

*** Torn between the 24mm F2, the 28mm F2 and the 35mm F2.
