John, where's a Summar in there? 😉

Industar, CV Nokton.

 

[Dave Wilkinson]

In LTM only:

Canon:
50/1.2 great
50/1.4 great
50/1.8 great

Leica:
Elmar 5cm/3.5 classic and sharp
Elmar 5cm/2.8 sharp
Summar 5cm/2 great lens with flare
Summitar 5cm/2 hardly used by me
Summarit 5cm/1.5 this is a "creative" lens somehow; dreamy images for special occasions
Summicron 50/2 collapsible

Zeiss Jena LTM:
Sonnar 5cm/2.0 both lenses are great for photography [two lenses; one is put together by Brian and one has been modified very early on]
Sonnar 5cm/1.5 uncoated, pre-war, pristine [put together by Brian] Brian has never encountered before such a clean Sonnar ZJ.

FSU:
50/2 [J8]
50/3.5
50/2.8 [Industrar 61L]
53/1.8 [Helios]

Roeschlein-Kreuznach:
50/2 Luxon "created" and adjusted by Brian

I try to use all lenses above as often as possible. I used to have a J-3 or two in LTM, but one was sold and one was modified into Contax mount. Now I have three J-3 in Contax mount [all adjusted by Brian].

.....You really need to get out a bit more! 🙄

Only two. (right now)
1.5 Summarit and 2.0 summitar.

They do breed, so I am careful to keep mine well separated. The best method I've found is to keep one lens on the camera at all times, and the rest in individual cases in a bag or on the shelf... Come to think of it, they still manage to multiply that way too.

 

[maggieo]

Just one, a CV Heliar Classic f/2.

But I'm an M8 shooter and I've got three 35mm lenses...

 

[ZeissFan]

Two: Summitar and some Soviet thing.

At last!.....a discerning gentleman of taste!....😀

 

[Lukino]

I have 2 (j8 and industar 50) and you people makes me feel less guilty on wanting to buy other 2 (a j3 and a collapsible one)

 

[retnull]

Two:
Summar f2.0
Summarit f1.5

Both are used regularly. The Summar is in excellent shape, the Summarit is not the cleanest copy available...maybe I'll upgrade it.

Canon f2.8, Elmar f3.5, Summar

John, where's a Summar in there? 😉

Sold it to John C. The lens was too inexpensive to merit a CLA, and it needed one. And I was in the process of discovering my inner Sonnar.

Other 50mm lenses sold in LTM:
Canon 50/1.2 to Roland,
Collapsible Summicron to Bob McC,
Japan Nikkor S.C to Nguyen A (all I need is the Tokyo),
and a nice LTM Summarit to... MikeL!

Mike, what LTM 50's are you shooting these days?

 

[Gary E]

Only 2 in RFs 50/2.8 Elmar and 50/2.0 Heliar, but I usually prefer my 40/2.0 Cron-C though. Also have 4 more in SLR mounts.

John,
Sonnar is spoken here!
I am [one day and not now] going to get either a Nikkor 50/2 or a 50/1.4. I regret having sold my 50/2.

Still using a Summar during the day and your Summarit in low light. I finally figured out how to crack open the Summarit (need a pin) and had a go at some of the haze. Much better now. Still waiting for a Nikkor f2 collapsible to fall in my lap.....
