I try to collect Leica M lenses and use it occasionally,

 

M240 + 21/3.4 SEM + 35/2 Cron Asph + 50/1.4 Lux Asph + 75/2 Cron Asph Apo + 90/2.8 Elmarit-M

 

M9 + 24/3.8 Elmar-M + 28/2.8 Elmarit Asph + 35/1.4 Lux FLE + 50/1.4 Lux V.4 Pre-Asph + 75/1.4 Lux V.2

 

M7 + 21/2.8 Elmarit-M

 

M6 + 50/2.8 Elmar-M

 

That's all, my own collection Leica M.

 

Thanks.

35mm Summicron which I bought with the camera and used exlusively for 2 years, now mostly just when I'm at home and don't have room to use my...

 

50mm Zeiss Sonnar F1.5 which I absolutely adore wide-open. I use it more and more, and get amazing results shooting dance performances.

 

75mm Summarit which I bought for portraits and hardly ever use - will probably sell soon.

 

I think I'm safe from lens GAS, at least for now B)

+1 for the 35 Cron and 50 Zeiss Sonnar! 

 

The 35 Summicron is my "everyday" lens, and it tends to stay on my camera about 90% of the time, though I slowly find that number to be decreasing because of the Zeiss Sonnar! I agree, I absolutely adore shooting it wide open, and it's used exclusively for portraiture, which I find myself doing more of because of this lens! Gorgeous piece of glass, just wish it had a focusing tab...

One lens for each camera, it's less choices ;)

 

M9-P with Elmarit-M 28/2.8 ASPH

M7 with APO-Summicron-M 50/2 ASPH

 

Hmm, perhaps I'll add a 135mm for airshows B)

i love this combo, since i too use a m240 with 50 app and mp film with 50 1.5 summarit. considering getting a 28mm :D

I'm getting lens envy reading this thread. I have only been an m9 owner for a few weeks and just have my 50mm Summerit which I love.

You may start with envy but you may also finish smug; I started with S/H MP (Film) and 50mm f2.8 Elmar-M, ended with new M240 and Summilux line-up covering 21 to 75mm.  Still have and use MP but, regretfully, Elmar-M had to go to fund other purchases.

I checked and, just in case anyone is wondering, uniting all three 50mm summiluxes and all three Noctiluxes doesn't cause Oskar's ghost to show up.

 

For that to happen, it has to be Friday the 13th at midnight.  You light a candle, put your lenses on a turntable set at 33 1/3 RPM and make it spin backwards.

 

For the Gen X, Gen Y and millenial types who don't understand the above, consult an old man/woman who survived the 1960s and still wears Led Zeppelin tee-shirts.

Hmmm, how on earth do you decide on which one to use? Chronic indecision with that many of each FL from which to choose would prevent me from taking any photos.

I just pick one and get on with it

 

Each of them is a stellar performer so it comes down to the "look" I'm going for

 

Also, I don't only take one lens per focal length. Sometimes I take a few and carry a few bodies

 

It's mostly for fun so the process of photography is as much fun to me as the end result :)

What fun !  I bet there are combinations you haven't tried yet with bodies and lenses ?
