What is your favorite M mount lens and why?

Alright I will Admit my Guilt
Of having Many Loves
The 21 SA, 35lux pre asph, 50 cron v3, 50 lux v2

But now i have settled on one
Perhaps he's a Tad hardcore...some even say 'clinical'
But I Adore
The 35 summicron....Asph

35 Cron V.4. Perfect handling, close focus and gets used the most outa all my M-mounts.

That may change when I get a 28 Cron though.

I am a weak man and last night I purchased a 28 Cron ASPH. Basically its a lot like my 35 Cron as far as handling, even though it is kinda big. Anyways I shot a roll of Tri-X (650 ISO) before going to work this morning using F2.0 only and wasn't late, and I got a shutter speed of 1/60th in subway lighting.

What a fast shooter that complimentes my rig (Wetzlar M6 with TA Rapidwinder and TA Rapidgrip). Of course I also use an externat VF'er for that all at once wide angle look.

I'm in heaven. All I need now is that new Leica metal scalloped hood (12466).

BTW my rig looks plain out evil. I only can imagine how awesome it will be with the updated hood. Oh what fun to finally have my dream street rig especially made for NYC.

it used to be my 35 v1 summicron, but after its value increase i'm afarid to use it. More or less same thing holds for the 2.8 35. the v4 is now my everyday shooter. Love the 50mm ltm elmars too, on my Barnacks.
