your favorite 50mm lens for m

Last year I acquired the E46 Summilux and collapsible Elmar 2.8 in RFF horsetrading—still getting acquainted with them. (Lux below; Elmar all on undeveloped film...)

This is hard, but will try. 50 2.0 APO 50 1.4 current 50 2.8 current, Summicron Rigid, 1950`s 50 2.8 collapsible, 503.5 red scale
 
One of my favorite lenses is Jupiter-3. The picture below was made on one of it which was build 1977. Now I use Zeiss Sonnar 1936 which is parent of Jupiter-3

Of the M mount or adaptable lenses I've used in this focal length (50mm Summilux Asph, V3, 4, 5, & DR Summicrons, both pre- and post-war 50mm 1.5and 2.0 Sonnars, Canon 50/1.5 LTM, Nikkkor 50/2 and Topcor), my favorite for B&W film is the DR Summicron. The Sonnars have character and the V4/5 Summicron is a good all rounder. There are many good 50mm lenses for rangefinders, both old and new. I only have the dual range Summicron now, because I don't shoot the focal length often.
