My 50 'cron DR has fully satisfied my Leica dreams, and is just about the only lens for 135 where I don't feel like I should be shooting MF instead. I do need to get around to buying eyes for it.
What is your Leica M dream lens?

I don't have any dream lens on my mind. I have many excellent lenses, and I use what I own. Owning a dream lens does not much sense to me since the existence of such a lens would make the lenses that I currently own obsolete, and I don't want this to happen.

A Noctilux 50mm f/1.2 and a multicoated example of the collapsible Summicron 50mm in black paint.

A 35mm Summilux ASPH with no focus shift and no finger tab. Make it so I can grab the focus ring. Make it smaller than the Ziess 35/1.4. Heck, make it just a tad smaller than the current FLE.
Either that, or a Voigtlander 35mm 1.2 version III that is smaller than version II. That would be the bomb.

Turn it round: it's not that trivial. Almost anything is a better target for dreams than a new lens, which would make little or (more likely) no difference to my photography.
How about:
Suddenly coming into a million dollars, or better still a billion.
Going back to India.
A free Tibet.
Writing a best-seller.
Planning exhibitions.
Driving to Malta (yes, I know I'd need a ferry eventually).
Mastering lucid dreaming.
The list goes on forever. I feel very sorry for anyone who has nothing better to dream about than lenses.
Cheers,
R.

I already have most of the lenses I want. Sometimes I think about selling the 75 Summicron to go back to the 90 Cron. And lately I've been thinking of the 50 Elmarit-M, after seeing all the nice comments about it (and nice pictures).

Having one hacked for me now, a 50 Summitar CLA'ed and painted to match the black anodized lenses.
Been missing the look of my old 28/2.8 V2 lately, so have been mildly looking at them, but also thinking about a 28/6.3 or 5.6 instead...

My dream lens is still the Bi-Elmar-M 35-50 f2.8.

Original 35mm summilux with goggles for my M3. I have a summaron with goggles so this is really just lens lust and too expensive for me to justify satisfying. Just learned about the hexanon 21-35 too, which sounds like quite a lens....
