I use the Laowa 9, 25, 85, Sony 16-35 and 200-600 and Tamron 50-400 the most.
I primarily use the 9mm in forests, but occasionally for some architecture as well.
The 25 and 85 open up for a whole new world compared to the standard macro lenses. I use them handheld, as the nature doesn't wait for you. I'm bad at focus stacking, though.
The 16-35 and 50-400 are a phenomenal pair for landscape and cityscape. I switch between these two zooms and the 9, 21, 50, 135 kit, depending on the need of reach and accessibility of the given location. For nightscape, the latter is chosen. I often use the 50-400 for abstract architecture as well.
The 200-600 is a workhorse for wildlife, but I sometimes desire a 300 f/4 and 600 f/5.6 kit instead, which might replace the 50-400 for me as well (mostly at 300mm on the Tamron and 600mm on the Sony).
I actually use the GMs the least. Occasionally use them for people, indoor architecture, caves (on vacation) and rarely astro (horrible where I live). I considered photographing craftsmanship (occasionally do) and events professionally, but I don't see myself doing it, at least not in the long run, and I plan to start studying soon to become a lab technician. I much prefer freelancing architecture, landscape and wildlife, but doubt that will work.
