No time for that twaddle I just take pictures that look right and it involves my feet.Field of view is 'kind of important' with regards to perspective and how elements within an image fall in relation to one and other. "Zoom with your feet" only works if you have no care of complex 3D geometry and how you are projecting it onto a 2D plane.

You use a fisheye lens for all your photos?No time for that twaddle I just take pictures that look right and it involves my feet.
Depending on the street:
up to 1 lane: 90mm
up to 2 lanes: 50mm
up to 4 lanes: 35mm
4 or more lanes: 28mm
Humor aside. 98% its the 50 for me. Generally I don't like distortion and very few people get the wide angle to work to my taste. Winogrand and Kubrick being rare exceptions.
I tend to go wider, my standard is 35mm, I find a 50mm a little too telephoto for my liking, but you could argue that 35mm is boring
I see myself jumping between 50 and 35mm but the 50 never feels totally wrong. Wouldn't want to be without.IMO the 50 is an allrounder. Long enough for portraiture, fast, low in distortion and aberration, great for perspective and very convenient. I'm astounded at how it can be an underrated lens.
After many years playing with all sorts of different focal lengths I have returned to the 50 (or similar in different formats). My photographs "feel" grander.
Good AdviceIf your photographs are boring the first thing that you should do is move closer and get extraneous objects out of the composition.
