Back when SlR cameras were newish, they came with 55mm lenses. That seemed to match what one eye sees. (You couldn’t look though the camera and open the other eye and it seemed to work.) I would have thought wider as You can see more than the 50mm lens shows you.

But 85mm soon became my most used lens. I had a 135mm to but it always seemed too long (on not long enough)
