Lens(es) I really like yet dont use enough/often..

Actually I have two: CV 35/1.2 and Canon Serenar 85/1.9 (v 2.0) - Both for the same reason.

But they draw, ohhh so beautifully for that special occasion.
 
I keep thinking of answers to this one - and then realize that every lens that would fall into this category has been sold.
But I would say the 75 lux is the one I think of the most. It was such a wonderful lens. I wish I still had one. But not at the prices they command.
 
All 75mm & 90mm M-Mount lenses, for my collection its the Leica Apo 90/2 Asph, CV 90/3.5 & CV 70/2.5, all brilliant (possibly the sharpest and most contrasty of all m-mount lenses) all very unwieldy on a rangefinder viewfinder. Even with a magnifier.

My hexanon 50/1.2 is lovely too, its sideline a bit because of its size and finder blockage...

See the pattern here... usability is as important, if not more than lens performance.
