4x J8 (3 contax, 1 LTM)
I-22, I-50, I-61
CV Nokton 50/1.1
Zuiko 50/1.8
Ef 50/1.8

I'm quite satisfied with the M/LTM combo of Nokton and I-22 for my R2M, but I might go for Nokton and collapsible Summar 50/2 instead.
 
i have 2 at the moment (summilux ASPH and current elmar) but keep on thinking about reducing to 1...
 
I have one for my Leica, one for my Nikon. Can't ever see myself needing more than 2 (per system) and even that seems a bit much. I think if I were to have multiples of one focal length it would be 35mm.
 
Summilux v2
Summicron v3 rare scallop focus ring version
Summicron v4 tiger paw type focus tab
Elmar collapsible
Nikkor sc 50 1.4
Nikkor H 50 f2
Nikkor Ais 50 f1.8
Nikon AFd 50 1.4
Summicron R 50 f2
 
Canon EF 50mm F1.8

Leica 5cm Summar F2 ltm
5cm Elmar F2.8 ltm x2
5cm Elmar F2.8 M
50mm Collapsible Summicron F2 M

Minolta Rokkor 58mm F1.2 (converting to Canon EF mount)
Rokkor 50mm F1.7
Rokkor 50mm F1.4

A few Takumars between F1.4 and F2

Probably some more. Some of them are due to go... Most came with cameras.

after seeing what you guys have, I am not so guilty anymore

canon 50mm f1.2 ltm
canon 50mm f1.5 ltm
summicron rigid 50mm f2
elmar 50mm f3.5
zeiss planar 50mm f2
zeiss sonnar 50mm f1.5 (contax mount)
hoping to add a summitar 50mm and summarit 50mm to the list in future...

zuiko 50mm f1.4
 
My 50's

Leica 50mm f1.4 PreAsph Summilux
Leica 50mm f2 tabbed Summicron
Leica 50mm f2 DR Summicron
Voigtlander 50mm f2.5 Color Skopar

Can't decide which one I like best. :)
 
Well I have 3, but different mounts/applications:

-Voigtlander 50mm f1.5 Nokton for my new-to-me (and fantastic!) Bessa R2

-Olympus Zuiko 50mm f1.8 for my OM-2n and OM-1

-Canon EF 50mm f1.4 for my 50D

Does that all count?

My list-
Summilux Pre-asph
Summilux Asph
Summicron DR
Hexanon-M 50/2
ZM PLnar 50/2
Summicron DR
50/2.5 Color-Skopar
Elmar 50/3.5 LTM
Nikkor HC 50/2 LTM
Canon RF 50/1.4
Canon RF 50/1.8
Summitar 50/2
Zuiko 50/1.4

These should cover all shooting situations.
 
a pre-ashp lux, an asph lux, a cron, a 1.7 minolta, a 1.4 sony.
i never get tired of shooting 50's. Everyone is soo keen on shooting 35 or 28, but for me...50 is the way to go.
also...my favorite 2 are the pre-asph lux, and the 1.7 minolta (1 rangefinder, 1 slr, both are older and not as 'sharp' as their modern counterparts, but my oh my do they have some swagger about them)

6 - CV Nokton f1.5, Leica f/2 DR, Leica f/2 Summicron-M, Leica f/1.4 ASPH, Zeiss f/2 Planar ZM, Konica M-Hexanon f/2.
 
Can't remember if I answered this question already - but I have just 1. A sigma 50mm f1.4 for canon EF mount, and it's a superb lens.
