Thank you Raid!
You save my day.... it's good to know I'm not there yet!
Thank you,thank you!
Happy 2011 btw!
 
I chose 5 or more...as I have many. But I don't feel I have a problem.

LTM Mount
Canon Serenar 50/1.5
Canon 50/1.9 Coll.
Canon 50/2.8 Ver.1
Jupiter 8 | 50/2
Jupiter 3 | 50/1.5
Jupiter 3 | 50/1.5
Industar 61 | 52/2.8 Panda
Industar 22 | 50/3.5
Industar 50-2 | 50/3.5

M Mount
ZM Planar T* | 50/2

Contax Mount
Helios-103 | 53/1.8

Nikon Mount
Nikkor AF | 50/1.8
Nikon E-Series | 50/1.8

Olympus OM Mount
Zuiko 50/1.8
Zuiko 50/1.8
Zuiko 50/1.8
Zuiko 55/1.2

Olympus Pen Mount
Zuiko 38/1.8
Zuiko 40/1.4

Would like to get a Zuiko 50-3.5 Macro for use on my Pen FV and my OMs.
 
Can not remember what I voted but I now have
industar collapsible
Jupiter 8
both ltm

1.8 canon ef
1,8 canon fd

Industar rigid m42
domiplan 2.8 m42

then there is
55mm Cosinon m42
and 55mm 1.6 Fuji X on its way.

When I had just a 50mm when I was 15 I wished for other lenses and thought it was a boring focal length. 30 years latter and I realized that apart from maybe 35mm it is a fantastic focal length.
 
Oops,wrong answere!

Oops,wrong answere!

I just did a recount and I have not four, but nine 50's. I don't
know, maybe I store them too close together in the drawer and some of them have gotten frisky? Actually they fit five different camera systems, some MF and some AF. What can I say, I have had a lot of GAS in my life, but those days are over for me. I will be selling all but three systems, one camera each. Wish me luck in going cold turkey. :bang:
 
Apparently not enough as I am tracking several more on eBay.
Summilux v3, Summicron v4 (2 - one with built-in shade, one clip on), 4 each Nikkors, all different, 2 Voigtlanders - Nine so far?
 
Just one at these days, but it is a Sonnar. :cool:

(Well, someone would call it rather that FSU-Sonnar-clone aka Jupiter 50/2.)
 
2, one of the M2 and one for the OM2n. Seems to keep the decision making time down to minimum :) One day I'll replace the 50mm for my M2 mostly because I don't know how much longer my current 50mm will hold up for, it's a very scruffy looking lens.
 
Even so Vicky it takes some great photo's in your very capable hands.

That's very kind of you to say so! That's why I am hoping I can find another good condition Mk1 Serenar 50mm before it finally gives up, it's got a few years yet but then I'll be using this setup for years to come.

Vicky
 
2 x M39 - Summar 50 f/2; Elmar 50 f/3.5
2 x R-mount - Summilux 50mm f/1.4; Summicron 50mm f/2
1 x Canon - EF 50mm f/1.4 USM

Oh boy, I voted 4... and still have 2 or 3 more around... those polls are good-checking your gear makes you understand you don't need most of it :D

My 50s just keep multiplying. It really is amazing how many good 50mm lenses are out there. Huge selection in LTM ones. I seem to always find "just one more" that I dont have and like. There is no end to it ;)
 
summar/summarit/summicron-dr though thats a real beater and has to get sold as no goggles! to part fund the 50 1.5 cv lens i want :p damn the 50 addiction
