lenses: haves and wants

[filmtwit]

Have:
really enough lenses as whole. None are high end, but all do a great job none the less.


Current want (within reason and affordability):
Zeiss Planar zm 50mm f2
Fuji 50mm f2 in ltm
Leica summicron 90mm f2

Need:
Maybe the 90mm summicron, since I have 75mm Voit and 105mm Nikkor in ltm. Not sure if this is really a need though.

[FrankS]

This was my original post 7 years ago:


I have:
25 f4 CV, 35 f2.8 Jupiter, a bunch of 50's, 85 f2 Canon, 90 f4 Elmar, 135 f4.5 Hektor

I would like:
50mm f1.5 Canon, another 35 lens any brand, just because the Jupiter does not fit on the Bessa R.

Recently acquired a Mamiya 7 and 65mm lens. I now desire the 150mm to go with it (portraits / compressed perspective landscapes / street shots). They just seem very expensive for what is, in effect, a 75mm equivalent prime on a 35mm system.

 

[menthel]

I have a 35mm v3 summicron, 50mm f1.5 voigtlander and 90mm f2.8 elmarit v1 and am very happy! The only new lens I really want it a 17-55 f2.8 canon to replace my current 18-50. Then lens lust is done.

pffft, amateurs...😀


I have way too many lenses, but would like to play around with a 35mm UC Hexanon.

I have 4 cameras (+1 P&S) and only 3 lenses... two of them for one camera.

I guess I have to buy some 😀
