Jupiter 8

(rest are F mount)
NKJ 5.8cm f1.4
Nikkor 50mm f1.4 C NAI
Nikkor 50mm f1.4 AIS
Nikkor 50mm f1.4 AF-D


ideally, i would like a "nicer" RF 50, either a Cron, f2 Heliar collapsible, or (DREAMING) an E58 Noct. The E58 Noct is the only lens, RF or SLR, that i REALLY covet.

in all, i've probably had somewhere around 50 or more 50mm's over the years. Yeah, probably over 50. EF, FD, M42, F, OM, L39.... haha way too many to count.
 
4-Leitz Ltm
1-Leitz M
3-FSU Ltm
3-OM
4-Exakta
4-Fixed lens Rangefinder
2-M42
1-Bronica but it's wide angle

Maybe I need to sell some stuff. As a Stuckys ad campaign once said "Eat here and get Gas"
 
If I count 50mm-e lenses (like my Sigma 30mm/f1.4), I have 8
  • Leica 50mm Summicron (collapsible)
  • Canon 50mm f1.8 mk 1
  • Canon 50mm f1.8 mk 2 (on permanent loan to my GF, since I prefer the mk 1)
  • Canon 50mm f2.5 Macro
  • Sigma 30mm f1.4 DX
  • Pentax-M 50mm f1.7
  • Olympus G. Zuiko Auto-S 1:1.4 f=40mm (fast 56-e for the original Pen F)
  • Mamiya Sekor 50mm (For the old Mamiya Z-series 35mm SLRs, currently taken out of its mount and in use as a slide-loupe)
 
  • Jupiter-3 f1.5
  • Leica Summicron-M Rigid f2.0
  • Leica Summicron-M current f2.0
  • Voigtlander Heliar Classic f2.0
  • Voigtlander Color-Skopar f2.3
  • Zeiss C Sonnar f1.5

The current Summicron is wonderful. I've tested Zeiss C Sonnar but not really used it yet. Will probably sell or swap the Heliar Classic as I don't like the ergonomics. The Rigid & Jupiter 3 are a couple of old farts.
 
noctilux 50/1
nikon 50/1.4 sc
canon 50/1.5
leica 50/2 cron dr
leica 50/1.4 e46 m
leica 50/1.4 e46 ltm
cv heliar 50/3.5
cv heliar 50/2

zeiss sonnar opton 50/1.5
zeiss tessar 50/3.5

nikon rf 50/1.4 millennium
nikkor 50/2 H.C

A few other 50mms for SLR and medium format.
 
The truly bizarre thing is that I have at least half a dozen Nikon F 50/1.8 and 2.0 (of every type from Non-AI to AF), even though it is among my least favourite lenses...
 
Let's see...

50mm 1.9 Vivitar (came with my first camera)
50mm 1.7 Pentax (2)
50mm 1.4 Nikon non-Ai (given to me)
50mm 1.4 Nikon Ai (2)
50mm 2.0 Nikon Ai (given to me)
50mm 1.8 Nikon AF
50mm 1.4 Super-Takumar
 
Summicron 50/2 SE
Summarit 50/1.5
Summilux 50/1.4 E46
Noctilux 50/1 V3
Summilux-R 50/1.4 E60
SMC Takumar 50/1.4
So I still have 6 after selling ZM Planar, Canon EF 50 1.4 and Summilux ASPH, RFF is probably the only place that makes me think that I am normal 😀
