15mm Vogt 4.5 - sell

18mm Zeiss 4 - sell

28mm Leica ASPH 2.8 - sell

35mm Leica ASPH 2.0

50mm Leica Summilux 1.4

50mm Leica Noctilux 1.0

50mm Leica Summicron 2.0 (older version) - sell

75mm Leica Summicron 2.0

 

those are the ones i'd sell based on my shooting style. Noct. is very nice for that special look, otherwise, 50 lux can do most of the rest.

My current lens line up is as follows...

 

15mm Vogt 4.5

18mm Zeiss 4

28mm Leica ASPH 2.8

35mm Leica ASPH 2.0

50mm Leica Summilux 1.4

50mm Leica Noctilux 1.0

50mm Leica Summicron 2.0 (older version)

75mm Leica Summicron 2.0

 

...

 

My initial thoughts were to keep the 35 Cron - 50 Lux - 75 Cron and sell the rest but am I staying too close together in focal ranges?

 

 

Your initial gut feeling is probably the best one to go with. If I was In your position, I'd keep the 28-2.8, 50-lux, and 75-cron. I'm still pondering on the 18, but that focal length is pretty wide on a full frame camera.

The Noctilux and 35 cron alone should put a HUGE dent in the bill.

Sell the 50 Summicron as you will have a new 50.

 

Next sell anything that does not work well on the M9. Code the 15 as 21 2.8 in selectable menue. It will work pretty good 18 Zeiss, no idea.

 

All the others will work on the M9.

 

Then sell off what you do not use and only use can decide. Perhaps the 35 and 28 are similar?

It might be worth seeing (if you code them) how many shits you have done with each and also which ones are your best.

 

I could say what I would keep but not much help I suspect

 

You really had me thinking hard on this one IWC.... I kept saying to myself, "What am I missing?" but it sounded like as good an idea as any........ :)

Thanks again so much for everyone's input, I have a lot of reading to do the next few days to catch up on all the great replies.
