I traded a Canon L for a CV 35 f/1.2 yesterday, now I just have to get an M-mount camera again to use it on! I also have the 40 SC, 75 and 90mms, I am rather fond of the 90 as it is sharp as all heck. I don't particulary like the 40, primarily because one of my right-hand fingers all too often makes its way into the corner of the photo! I'll have to get the hood for it someday methinks, as it stands the lens is simply too small for me.
 
15/4 LTM (probably will sell, just to much FoV for me to handle)
25/4 M (going to sell, prefer my Canon 25/3.5, maybe get a ZM 25mm someday)
28/3.5 (love it, never sell)
35/2.5 Classic (just got it, no opinion yet)
35/1.2 (just got it, no opinion yet)
50/2.5 (excellent, but probably will sell, way too many 50s)
50/1.5 (one of the best 50s I've ever had)

I own the 21mm f/4 Color-Skopar and I love it. Right now I am borrowing a 75mm f/2.5 Heliar to complete a 21-35-75 kit but I find I don't use it.
 
I own 3 CV lenses:
21/4P Color Skopar
35/2.5 PII Color Skopar
50/2.5 Color Skopar

I think my next lens from CV will be a 28mm either the 28/3.5 or the 28/2. I like the size of the 3.5 but I also like the speed of the 2.
 
What about the 35 Nokton 1,4?

21/4
28/1,9
35/1,4 (yes there is such a thing, see pic)
50/2,5

35/1,2 on loan

EDIT: Sorry, now see that others miss the 35mm Nokton too.

15/4.5, 21/4, 35/2.5, 50/1.5 and 75/2.5. Thinking about a 28/3.5 for the R4 when it arrives.

I bought the 28/3.5 after the R4 arrived. I just recently bought a used 50/2.5 from my friend Gary. It is the black version. I was hoping to get a chrome one. The GAS has come to an end for a while as the purchase of a home and improvements to same has consumed all of my spare funds.

Raid, when did you get the 50 Heliar?

I'm down to two CV lenses now: 28/3.5, and 35/2.5 PII. Both are keepers, I think.

Hello Steve,

Just a few months ago, someone sold on ebay the 101 Jahre Set which included a blue Bessa T and the chrome Heliar. The seller had bought the set new, but when it arrived to him, the Bessa T has a non-functioning RF. He sold the set for the market price of the lens alone. I still have to get the T fixed.

The lens is wonderful, even though its max aperture is 3.5. I always have plenty of light in Florida, so the small max aperture is not a problem. I think, Tom calls it a Summer Lens.


The Heliar is very light. This is also a plus.
 
I once again own a 35/2.5, this time the Classic in LTM. If circumstances permit, I'd seriously consider getting a 25/4 or the 75/2.5 though honestly I doubt I'l get any more glass anytime soon; I'd probably try to find an affordable Canon 50/1.5 first.

Had 40/1.4 SC x2, 35/2.5 PII, 15/4, 21/4.

They are all gone but I just received a nice black 28/3.5. Can't wait to develop the test roll. This thing is tiny!
