lenses: haves and wants

Ruben,

The Canon 135mm LTM f3.5 used up close will render the background totally blown out. Canon 85mm f1.9 is a close second.

Best Regards,

Bill Mattocks
 
Have (limiting myself to RF): CV 21/4, 35/2.5, 75/2.5

Want: CV 35/1.7, 50/1.5, 50/2.5

When I get my M2 (was going to say an R2 was more likely, but I'm dreaming), then I'll worry about M-mount glass.

will they fit a leica IIIf ?
 
Thanks, you guys are making me feel better.

Looks like Bill's got a thing for 135mm lenses.
 
Just looked at the first roll from the Canon 50mm F1.5 on the Canon Little IIf. Wow. First Impression: It is closer to the Zeiss-Opton Sonnar lens than is the Nikkor. The Nikkor is a "wee bit" sharper close-up and wide-open, but the OOF is harsher. COntrast on all of them is terrific, the colors on the Canon are like a laundry soap commercial.

Must Scan. Been playing with the 1993 Digital camera. Had to pull out my Pentium Pro machine to get it working, so scanner is down.
 
Have - CV 28/1.9, CV 40/1.4, CV 75/2.5, CV 90/3.5

Want - CV 21/4

The 21/4 isn't a burning need; I've had one before and would probably find another handy. Other than that, I'm done. I don't know anything about Leica lenses and I have no desire to learn so that ignorance keeps me out of trouble. :)
 
Whose stupid idea was this thread anyway???? ;)

What are you trying to do to us Frank? Turn us into a meeting of Lens Hoarders Anonymous? :)

Have:
For the M6: CV 21/4; 35/2 Summicron; Tri-Elmar; 90/4 Macro-Elmar
For the IIIf: 35/3.5 Elmar; 50/2 Summitar; 135/4.5 Hektor
For the IIa: 50/2 Sonnar; 135/4 Sonnar

Want: oh man.......this bit doesn't have to be reasonable, does it?
Replace the CV21 with a Elmarit 21/2.8 (no idea why, just because , I think)
35/3.5 Summaron
90/3.5 Elmar
Mamiya 65/4 (with a Mam 7 body attached)

Surplus and for sale:
CV 28/3.5 (Stu has his name on this one); CV 35/2.5; CV 90/3.5

Have: Summicron 50.

Want: Nothing at the moment.
