What lenses do you own?

Is that the 280 Telyt-V rather than the 280 Telyt-R?

 

Pete.

 

Yes ... a fine lens for Visoflex, strictly Canada-made, which had 3 distinct versions.

50 Lux ASPH

28 Summicron ASPH

135 Telyt

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

Imo it is a bit strange to have dozens of lenses hanging around...

 

So I will not list the 26 I just counted in my cupboard...

[yanidel]

Quite a few back home in a box, but right now I use only 35mm Lux Asph and 60mm Hexanon.

[Guest fuzzy logic]

Two that are really important to me - one in my right eye, the other in my left eye.

Understood, thanks. May I ask which few ones you prefer over the others - if that's permitted in this thread?

Oh yes - Summilux 24 M- Elmarit 28 III M- Summilux 50 asph M- Elmar M 50/2.8 - Elmarit 90 M and Vario-Elmar R 105-280.

I own the following:

 

21 ASPH Elmarit

28 ASPH Summicron

35 ASPH Lux (new type)

50 ASPH Lux

75 Summarit

90 ASPH Summicron

 

I acquired the 35 Lux very recently and have used it exclusively ever since. Before this I mostly used the 50 and 90. I haven't abandoned the 90, it is the novelty of the new lens that has led me to leave it on the camera.

'Bear' with me...

 

sometimes, not enough... sometimes too many... and sometimes just right

Don't like these p-contests and am waiting for a suitably acerbic comment from Bill.

 

Acerbic? Me? Trenchant, maybe, or even caustic, but never acerbic

 

Honestly, I've avoided this thread; really don't see the point. I've had more lenses over the years, I've had less, I'm pretty happy with what I have right now, and that is what matters, surely? I would rather master a few than accumulate more than I can ever do justice to.

 

A personal style, I believe, comes from finding what works for you and exploring it, not flitting from subject to subject, camera to camera or lens to lens like a demented bee in a fruitless search for the "best" nectar.

 

Regards,

I own more than I (regularly) use. Since I have the M9, Summilux 35 asph I and Summilux 50 asph is all I use.

So once in a while I wrestle with the thought of selling the ones I did not touch for months. But then they say: "Don't sell a Leica". And considering how used lens prices developped in the last few years there are worse places to park some money, including bank accounts.

[k_g_wolf ✝]

Very same as Ecaton ...

 

with the exeption of the >>asphs<<.

 

 

 

Best

[skinnfell]

35/2 Asph

50/2 Type 4

90/2,8 from 1959

M9 body.

 

Hoping to get a 28/2,8 ASPH soon

[ishkra]

could be much more interesting to know..."How many good pictures do you take with the lenses you own??

[bocaburger]

How many lenses does it take to get one image?

 

Two of course. One to shoot, the other as the subject

[danlindberg]

I like it minimalistic and will never have many lenses, strictly lenses I want to use.

 

24/3.8 Elmar

50/2 Summicron BUT today I ordered a 50/1.4 Summilux

75/2 Summicron

 

This gives me the freedom that I need but I too have a wishlist and that is a 28/2 Summicron.

[Jeff S]

I'm surprised nobody has yet mentioned the best bag to hold 25 lenses.

Stupid question, the lenses are only intended for focus testing purposes:D

It has to fit under the airplane seat...

Hallo,

Look here: Interesting Leica gear

[pop]

That would not draw an interesting response; besides, most likely none of the responses would be true.

 

How about "What brick walls do you own"?
