If I am to take a lens to an island, it is this one.

If I am to take a camera to an island, I would take a Contax G2, this Planar 45/2 lens, lots of film, and hope for a film processing service on that island.
Over the last few years, this lens has been my main workhorse. It is ridiculously cheap on the used market, totally incommensurate with its optical achievements. Fits my lifestyle well - a small camera and a small lens in titanium colour and a bit retro-looking. It is cute, and people want to handle it when they see it. It has great charisma and great for shooting people.
We "should" use a medium format camera in the studio, but after using a Fuji 645S and the G Planar 45/2 in the same shoot, we have pretty much given up on medium format (at least 645, even if not 67). Sure, medium format film wins on grain hands-down, but for shooting people a bit of grain is actually good.

The best normal lens for rangefinder camera. AF is fast and accurate on the CONTAX G camera bodies. Sharper than any Leica lenses including the Summicron 50mm f/2! The colour tone is a bit warm when compare with the newly released ZM Planar 50/2 T*
