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.
 
Haves: 21/4, 50/1.5, 75/2.5 [CV], and 135/3.8 [Arco]
Wants: True macro lens anywhere in the 50-105 range, and an SLR to mount it. ;) And, if anyone wants to donate a 35/1.2, I guess I'll take it! :D
 
currently own (and/or waiting on delivery)
all canon ltm..

35/2 - 35/2.8 - 50/1.8 - 50/1.9 - 85/2 - 100/3.5 - 100/4 - 135/3.5

would like to get - (also all canon ltm)

28/3.5 - 35/3.5 - 50/1.4 - 100/2

that should do it...

don't think i 'want' one.

i think 3 of each (35/50/100) would be ideal.

and one 28 and one 135 rounds out the corners nicely.

Have:
CV 21/4
35/2 Summicron
50/2 Summicron
50/2 Collapsible Summicron

(this is Franks way of making himself feel better)

Canon 50/1.8
Canon 50/1.2
CV 75/2.5

Wants:
CV 28/1.9 or 3.5 (don't know yet)
CV 35/1.2
Canon 35/2
90/2.8 Tele Elmarit
Canon 100/3.5
(None of those are needed in any rush)

Now the sickness wants:
Canon 50/1.4
50/2 Rigid Summicron
50/2 Summarit
50/1.5 Summitar
Jupiter 8
LTM 50/1.5 Sonnar

And the one real NEED:
Canon 50/1.5
 
Because.......

It is fast, it is a Canon and it is a Sonnar......

Awwww, just because.
 
thought so!

we are a funny bunch in how we analyse & justify our wants.

my thinking is, 'you already have the 1.2 so why would need another fast lens?'
but for me, i want all the 35's so it makes complete sense in MY head.

whatever make us happy and does no harm to others, i guess.

I am getting all these dangerous lenses off the streets so that the world is safer for democracy or something. Don't worry kids, I'll keep them all locked up here. They won't get out and hurt you.
