Which lens(es) do you have on your leica(s)?

I think most of us took it to mean which lenses on the cameras now, like the how many cameras currently loaded with film, how many lenses for an outing, what's in your bag, your travel kit etc threads. I, for instance, could see your 90 and 135 and raise you two 25s, but they're not APO or summicrons and I don't have 28 and 75 so you would probably still win.

Not having certain focal lengths is more often a considered choice than lack of resources. Choosing a rangefinder over an SLR is already a similar choice. Richter did not record all of the Beethoven Sonatas, and he did not perform all of Bach's Well Tempered Clavier.
Since it may not be a lack of resources, perhaps it might be more of a finder issue. Possibly an age issue. Or lack of practice in fine focusing, for the telephotos don't take too kindly to hyperfocal focusing technique doing street photography where you merely raise the camera's finder to your eye and DOF takes care of the rest.

Call me crazy, but I actually enjoy the slower pace of working the 90 & 135 Apos instead of grabbing the DSLR. And Four RF bodies with lenses weigh a lot less than 2 DSLR's with heavy constant aperture zooms:D
 
M4-P + Ultron 35/1.7

Reasons:
1. I only like 35mm focal length on the M4-P
2. Ultron is good enough for my standard
3. I can't justify the price of a pre-ASPH 35mm Summilux
