A Helios 58 f2 that came with the Zenit 12XP
A Super Takumar 50 f/1.4 to use it on the Zenit
An EF 50 f/1.8 II to use on the Canon EOS 5
An Elmar 50 f/3.5 for my Leica IIc
and a Practikar 50 f/1.8 for my Praktica BC-1
 
I answered 1 because at the moment I only have 1 50mm RF lens. In the past I have had a few more than that but now it is only one. Well, there are a couple of parts of 2 J8's still around that have been used for spares 😉

Please don't ask about the SLRs though. Most hast a standard lens fitted so it is certainly a lot more than 5!!

5 or more for me. When I got my Leica, I got the Jupiter 8 first, then a Canon 50 f/1.4 to replace it, but kept the Jupiter. I have a Nikon 50 1.8 AF-D that I bought on its own, but got a 50 1.4 ais that came with my FE. Then the 50 1.7 that came with my Pentax K1000, and two other Pentax 50 f/2s that came with a couple other Pentax cameras I have.. I think that's it..

At Present:
1937 Summar
1951 Elamr 50 3.5
1989 Summilux
1970 Summicron

50's are SUPREME for Me !!!!
 
From memory ...

Summarit
Elmar red-scale
Summitar (front element separation)
Noctilux
Zeiss Sonnar S-mount
Nikkor-S-C
Nikkor Ais

... it might be actually more but I lost overview and pretty much don`t care. 😀
 
Voted before, but that was before I had 3 50mm lenses. This was by no means my intention, and as soon the third one arrives in the next few days, I shall be slimming back to one.

Funny how lenses build up, first 50 was a previous version summicron, which after being accompanied by a 1st version elmar which came as a package with an M4, was sold packaged with an M6. In the search for something faster, a Zeiss Sonnar-C joined the party, with the third to be a 50mm Voigtlander f1.1.

The elmar and sonnar will go shortly, as the f1.1 becomes my main 50 should I gel with it, but already a summar, summarit or other character 50 is on my mind, so I'm not sure I will ever just have one 50 🙂

I should add that I'm a 50mm shooter in the main, and this is the only focal length in which I have multiple lenses.

Umm! I felt guilty so I checked my list for the SLRs. If you count the 55mm "std" lenses as well, it comes to 87. 😱 But I only have one for the RF's! 😉

😱 87? I can't imagine having 87 lenses, let alone 87 in 50-55mm.

Then again, I'm new here. When I joined a fountain pen forum, I couldn't imagine having 87 pens, and now I've got more than a hundred (and haven't been able to get below a hundred in more than two years).
