as of today, not counting auctions in progress, or those that have not actually made it to the door....or the three Lietz I have on long term loan:

20 f/4 CV
35 f/2.5 CV
50s: Canon 1.8 & 1.4, I-61 L/D
75 CV f/2.5
85 Canon f/1.9
100 f/3.5 Canon

I won't even start on the SLR lenses.

Now maybe I should get a rangefinder.

oh jeez this is 50s only--do 55s count?

A trio of Leitz 50s:

Summicron DR for all-round goodness
Elmar Red Scale for pocketability (and it's as sharp as anything else)
Summar for the glow (or flare, if you like)
 
For M : Zeiss C-Sonnar and Elmar 2.8 (last version)
For Nikon : AIS 50 1.4, 1.8 and 1.2. AF 1.8.

Looking forward to acquire a DR Summicron.
 
I've been selling a bunch of stuff the past several weeks but still far too many to count. They are going, though. Do 53mm and 55mm lenses count?
 
One only for range finder: ZM 50/2 Planar. Still thinking about the ZM 50/1.5 Sonnar.

For SLRs,

1 50/1.4 for C/Y
1 50/1.4, few 50/1.8, 1 Voigtlander 50/1.8 and 1 Schneider 50/1.8 for Rollei 35mm
1 50/1.4 and many 50/1.8 and 50/2.4 for Praktica PB mount
1 58/2 and 50/2.8 Jena M42 mount
 
Nikkor 1.8 long nose and 2.0 showed up somehow. I just don't know how it happens. Oh, and a Zuiko 1.8 came attatched to my new-to-me OM1n. I give up.
 
In RF I have one, a CV 50/2 Heliar which is a really neat and sharp lens

For 35mm I have plenty. I have f1.4, 1.8, and 2 Nikkors, a ZF f1.4, and a Minolta f1.9.

This doesn't count 50-ish lenses. I have two more 55mm lenses.

The weird thing is that I really don't like the 50mm perspective, so don't use them that often.
