21/4 unbelievably sharp (i´ll never sell this)
28/1.9 awesome piece of glass (with me everytime I go out)
50/1.5 I have managed to get some good shots out of it but the nokton still leaves me cold :-( ... the speed is nice thou

edit: I´ve sorted all my tags at flickr so you can search for each lens on my stream for reference. (i hope the M-Mount group soon adds CV lenses!)

I have the 15/4.5, 35/1.7 and 75/2.5.

The Ultron 35/1.7 is my favorite. It's on my R2 by default. I use it about 99% of the time. The 15 sees more use than the 75, mostly because I have a back focus problem that makes the 75 risky to use. Will fix that sometime.
 
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. The most used - 35/2.5 followed by the 21/4.

15 f4.5, 21 f4, 25 f4, and 85 f3.5 APO-Lanthar (not listed in the poll and sharp as a tack). All in Nikon rangefinder mount except the 15.
 
I used to own a 35/2.5 classic. Great lens for the price, but I prefer a little less contrast and a good grip to focus instead of the tab.

Now I'm looking to buy a 28/1.9 as soon as I find one (used)...
 
I have two CV lenses -
90 f/3.5 and
21 f/4

I had a 50 f/1.4 but sold it. I liked it, very sharp and all, but used it less and less when I got a 35...

I have the cv 35 2.5 pancake II although my lens says cosina epson rd1 2004 35 2.5 on it rather then the voigtlander stuff
 
Currently, none, alas.

I have owned the 35/2.5 in SC mount and loved it.

Once I have the money, I intend to buy the 50/2.5 Color Skopar. I really like what I've seen from it and I'll pick up classic Canon glass when I need something faster.

I have the 15, 21 (latest addition), 25, 28/1.9, 35/1.7, 50/1.5, 75, and 90.

I had the 35/2.5 C but sold it. Never used it. I'm considering selling the 90 as I never use that, too. The 28 Ultron gets the most usage nowadays, followed by the 50 Nokton.
 
I just ordered the CV 25/4 Skopar with M Adapter from CQ.

Tho' I have a Cosina 20/3.8 in Nikon AI mount, I don't 'see'
much wider than 24mm. mike

12/5.6, 15/4.5.
which is better?

It's not a matter of which is better. It's a matter of which is more suitable for what you want, and then the choice entirely depends on you. :)
 
21/4
25/4 [on the L]
28/1.9
35/2.5
35/1.2
50/1.5
75/2.5

I will jump on a coupled 25...that would be my #1 lens [unless I am shooting low light :D
