Lenses 35/21 Gears 46/20
I was not on SLR territory while it's dominance in photography gear. Even Zenit was not something very common, but Smena. So, nothing is legendary for me 
With years of been with DSLRs I realized what reusing of film era lenses does not bring good results, but limitations.
Around 2020 after been fooled by lies from Canon representative at SMPTE seminar I got my first AF FF ML camera. It was short story.
The only reason I used film only era lenes was due to Canon idiotic decision to keep RF mount exclusive to Canon for AF.
I have an itching for SL 601.
Would never ever afford Leica AF lenses. But L mount has better than Leica AF lenses. Compact, light AF zooms . Need only one.
For MF I would like to use my rangefinder lenses to keep the weight of the brick not too high. I have 21, 28, 35, 50 and 135 mx of FSU, CV, Leica and Leitz. Well enough.

I think L mount remains pretty compelling. The lenses from Sigma are great and M mount lenses adapt to L nicely. Whilst the Leica bodies offer the best M performance, Panasonic works well enough for most focal lengths and actual real world use - maybe not for something where you want corner to corner sharpness, which would be back to the Sigmas.
