They must all be locked away in cupboards.
I once went in to a well known camera shop in Manchester looking for anything ltm and interesting. The chap behind the counter said he was sorry but he had nothing. He went on to say the reason for lack of stock was simple...none of his customers had died recently!
Which leads me into asking...would your nearest and dearest know what to do with your treasures when you have shuffled off this mortal coil?

I was looking for a LTM lens wider than 28mm. Been looking for a few years. Many of these are separated from their view finders. And the finders are priced almost as much as the lenses!
I finally won a Voigtlander 21mm with finder and Voigtlander camera attached to the back. I should get it soon.
The range-finder-less cameras seem to be ideal for wide angle lenses.

I have one of these 21/4 in LTM. Excellent lens. I don't use it all that often (I'm a 50 person) but I keep in in my daily carry bag along with a 35 & a 90.
A nice Canon 25 LTM lens sold cheaply in the RFF classifieds last week.

Probably not a rarity, but it is a lens I don't see for sale and one that continues to impress me: Canon 100mm f2.

I also like the Canon 100mm f2 lens. I have a few of these. I found in my drawer a head of this lens without the focusing mount that I had bought decades ago on eBay.
Last month, I found a guy on eBay that is selling just the mounts for this lens.
Canon 100 f2 focusing barrels
So, I have a whole lens now. He has several, still on eBay now. He must have a business that is rehousing the glass for other uses. He's got other Canon RF barrels available, too.
By the way, if anyone know where I could get some aperture blades for this lens, I'd very much appreciate the tip.

Amazing. What body are you using? Collimation is good with your lens using different lens head and barrel?

Oh, you know, the usuals like the 35mm f/1.8 W-Nikkor in M39 and the original or remake of the 60mm f/1.2 Konica Hexanon. The asking prices for all of these lenses are just incredible. It's difficult as a shooter to compete with collectors.

So far, I'm just using that one on the Z6. So, it doesn't matter for that. One of these days, I'll test collimation of my Canon rangefinders. It might need shimmed. I already have one that works great on the Canons though. So, no hurry.

The 50mm Hektor is one Leica lens I have never used. I have never seen one in fact.
