What is your favourite non-leica lens?

Bsides those from Leica, I have three Voigtlander lenses that I love very much:

 

The CV Ultron 28/1.9 Aspherical, superb lens that nothing has to envy to the Leica sisters;

The CV Ultron 21/1.8 Aspherical, a beautiful piece of glass, very sharp and versatile;

The CV Super Wide Heliar 15/4.5 Aspherical, a superb ultra wide angle whose only weakness on the M 240 is the magenta vignetting. Unfortunately there is no way, so, being myself not veri inclined to Cornerfix correction, I use it for B&W only.

 

They are all very sharp even wide open, quite pleasant lenses to use.

For two months now, I've been using the little 21mm/F4.0 Color Skopar Pancake on my Monochrom camera. I enjoyed it so much that I have rarely taken it off the camera. It is sharp, but dreamy rather than clinical. When coded as a Elmarit-M 21mm f /2.8 ASPH, 11135 there is little or no-vignetting. Being so small and weighing only 136g (+ 43g for the viewfinder) there is always room in my bag to bring it along.

Good choice, I have the same feeling for it, on my MM is is less clinical than my 21mm ZM Biogon f/2.8 and a much nicer lens to use.

 

My own non Leica favourite is the CV 28mm f/3.5 Color Skopar. I can't believe more people don't rave over it, it's sharper in the corners than the 28mm Summicron! It's also well built in brass rather than the normal CV alloy. Highly recommended.
