Most people don't have experience with much more then 5 M mount lenses, so they just end up listing what they have used.

 

I like any type of 50 Summicron though, especially the type 3 for most B&W film (the newer optical version (4&5) is a better all rounder). For practical reasons I find that I use the 50 Summicron more then the 50 Summilux asph (just too big).

 

One my favorite 50s of all time was a Planar in a Contarex mount. Great lens from the mid-60's, and still able to hold its' own against the giants of the modern day. I understand the 50 planar ZM is very nice too.

Rangefinder lenses:

50/1.4 Summilux-M asph

90/2 APO-Summicron-M asph

28/2 Summicron-M asph

Carl Zeiss Jena 50/2 Sonnar

Carl Zeiss Jena 85/2 Sonnar

 

SLR lenses:

280/4 APO-Telyt-R

100/2.8 APO-Macro-Elmarit-R

80/1.4 Summilux-R

28-90 Vario-Elmarit-R

19/2.8 Elmarit-R

 

If Santa says I'm not allowed to split:

280/4 APO-Telyt-R

50/1.4 Summilux-M asph

90/2 APO-Summicron-M asph

100/2.8 APO-Macro-Elmarit-R

Carl Zeiss Jena 50/2 Sonnar

 

I would regret not having my 28 Summicron-M asph though.

let's see ... as primarily a 35-90 guy ...

 

1) lux 35 asph v1 (which i have)

2) nocti 50 f/1 (which i don't have and can't afford)

3) cron 50 v5 (which i have)

4) elmarit-m 90 (which i have)

5) rollei planar 80mm hft (which i had, but regrettably sold to rationalize #4 on this list)

 

these lenses would facilitate some cool one, two and three lens kits.

Not top 5, but my complete system and hence, my top 3:

 

50/1.4 Asph, 35/1.4 Asph, & 21SEM.

 

I doubt that I'll add more in a hurry although something a little longer might be useful at times.....
