50 f1.5 and love it. Cheap in the M mount world (ok, I know its not really m mount) and gives great results.
 
Currently have the 50/1.5 Nokton, it is a fantastic lens.

I have owned the 75/2.5, 75/1.8, and 90/3.5 and sold them to fund other purchases.
 
For me the 50/1.5 was better than the Summilux 50-pre and in the first two stops better than my C-Sonnar 50. Not a centimeter of focus shift too! (Why C/V discontinued it, I never understood..)
 
Starting with M compatible RFs I focused first on small lenses. That's why I own only the CV50/2.5 in this poll. Next up will be one of the fast 50mm.
 
I have the Nokton 1.1, but I will sell it in the next days or weeks. It's a good lens, but I mostly shoot 35mm and do not need a big 50mm. My collapsible Elmar 2.8 is enough for me.

I also have the 75mm 1.8 and I think, it is the best Portrait-only lens, I have owned so far. I really love it for portraits, but I don't use it for anything else, yet.
 
I currently only have the 75mm f/1.8 and it consistently gives me fantastic results and continues to surprise me at its quality. While I haven't shot with a 75mm Summarit, I wouldn't sell the Heliar to fund a Summarit because it [Heliar] is such a fine performer, I love the way it draws and I can't see me gaining much by moving to the Leica lens. It's just awesome.

I've owned two 15mm Super Wides, a 28mm f/1.9 and a 35mm f/1.7 Ultron. They all were good but I don't think as good as the 75 f/1.8.

The 35/1,7 and the 50/1,5 along with the 28/2 are accompanied to the RD-1.
The 15/4,5 the 21/4 28/3,5 35/2,5 50/2 75/2,5 and 90/3,5 with the Nex 5n.
The two bags are very similar in size and weight.
Sometimes hard to choose which to come with me...

Same here. The lens was nice enough, but I just never bonded w/ the 75mm focal length.

I also had the Nokton 50/1.5 for awhile. Wonderful optic, but I didn't like the size, so I sold it.

My favorite CV lens remains the Skopar 50/2.5. Not selling that one.:)
 
I have the 15/4.5 wide heliar. Can't praise it enough. Why not on the list?
And I have the 50/1.5 Nokton. Fine lens, but having a hard time against my 50/2 Summicron.
And I want to have the 35/1.2 II

I didn't think I would like the 50/2 Heliar as much as my 40 Summicron-C but indeed I do. I'm looking at the 75/1.8 next (either on RF or SLR :eek:)
 
It's obvious that whenever Cosina decides to relaunch the 50/1.5 in M mount, they will definitely sell as well as a 50 can.
