I am really starting to like the 90 Apo 2.0. Between this and the 21 , these 2 are by number picks.
Here is a snapshot I did on Velvia 100 with the 90

can't pick a lens.
but as a focal length, my favourite by far is the 35mm.
second might be the 50.

for leica M 35 mm summicron pre asph
for hasselbald 120 mm s-planar or the noninterchangable Biogon 38 mm on the swc
for rolleiflex tessar 3,5 75 mm over the 2,8 planar
for Fuji the 180 3,2
I am getting to like the 2,8 tessar 80 mm on the super ikonta and the 2,0 ultron on the vitessa to as well as the 50 mm summarit for leica though it has been hard work getting to get used to "normal" focallenght - Rangefinder cameras make that much easier then slr - with the slr 24x36 things do not look right at 50 mm (to me) with rangefinders i just concentrate on what is in the frame and take it from there - makes sense ??

My favorite is the Konica M-Hexanon 50/2.. Shines in colour as well as B&W..

35mm seems to me the 'natural' focal length for a Leica.
Much to my surprise the 75/2 Summicron seems to be creeping into second place.

I absolutely love my Summilux-M 35/1.4 ASPH...
I too like the APO 90, although I have the R version.

Currently the Summicron-M 2/50. But that may change when the recently purchased 2/35 asph reaches my place and gets some use...

Where'd my Bessa go?
CV 15/4.5 for super wide shots and 35/2 Biogon M as a standard lens.
50/2 Summicron, or Canon 50/1.5, both keep me smiling.

I'm interested - why? I only have a 'cord with a 3,5/75 Xenar, and have been lusting after Planar-equipped 'flexes, that's why I'm asking.

For me, also, the 35mm seems to be the most natural. I use the Summicron ASPH most often. It's the one I would take if I were forced to take only one on a trip. (If I could take two, I would have a hard time choosing.)Roger Hicks said:

My favorite focal length is 35mm but my current favorite lens is the f2.8/50mm Elmar-M. The attached pic was pretty near to the closest focus on that lens, which is 0.7M.

28 elmarit; 35 'cron 8 element, 35 'cron asph, 50 'cron; 90 fat-tele, 135 tele-elmar.
28/3.5 cv is a great, compact wa; just recently got the 15/4.5 heliar and find it an amazing lens; 50 nokton on the way.
what to use depends on situation and conditions of course or whats at hand...
