I think that's what you can deduce about the data as well. I didn't look at Canon figures as I have Nikon myself, but that data clearly showed that entry-level cameras are used with kit lenses, and pro cameras are used with a larger variety of high-quality lenses. D3100 and D5000 go with the 18-55 kit lens (which is in fact a very good lens considering the price) and have a third of their pictures taken with these. D7000 and D90, being somewhat more advanced hobbyist models, go with their respective kit lens (18-105) with 20-30 % share. Full-frame bodies (D600, D700, D800 etc) most often have the professional 24-70/2.8 lens, but the share is still smaller, indicating that a larger variety of different lenses is in use, as you would expect with pro/prosumer cameras.

> that data clearly showed that entry-level cameras are used with kit lenses, and pro cameras are used with a larger variety of high-quality lenses. i.e. perhaps what's more interesting, is the variety of lenses used by a particular photographer. If it's mostly one camera and one lens, we're pretty sure that the photographer has a package, and is just taking simple pictures. If the photographer has a range of lenses for different shots, we're pretty sure he's choosing the best lenses for the job. Which means concentrating on the distribution per photographer, not per lens. The page should also show the distribution of combinations among photographers. Most photographers will be at 1-2 lenses. The better photographers will use more lenses. In all likelihood, the less popular camera + lens combination is the better one.
