Advertisement Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Hi johnson184, Take a look here Which 3 lenses?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
IkarusJohn Posted February 22, 2016 Share #2 Posted February 22, 2016 21 Summilux 28 Summilux 75 Summilux (or Noct 0.95 - a toss up) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattsy Posted February 22, 2016 Share #3 Posted February 22, 2016 I don't know but I wouldn't be unhappy with 35 Summicron, 35 Summilux and, possibly, 90 Macro Elmar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelwj Posted February 22, 2016 Share #4 Posted February 22, 2016 A 21, 35, and probably 90. At the moment it would be a 3.4/21 SA, 35 pre-asph lux, and 90 pre-asph cron. I could probably swap the all for their modern equivalents, but that's a bit boring now isn't it! Or I might swap the 90 for a second 35, either a v4 cron or a ron. I like 35s. Cheers, Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hepcat Posted February 22, 2016 Share #5 Posted February 22, 2016 Considering that's pretty much what I carry, it's the Nokton 35mm f/1.2 v1, 50mm f/1.1, and 90mm Canada Summicron. That said, if I'm travelling light, it's the Nokton 35, a Heliar 50 f/2, and a Heliar 75mm f/1.8. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruby Posted February 22, 2016 Share #6 Posted February 22, 2016 Summicron 28, Summilux 50, Summarit 90. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougg Posted February 22, 2016 Share #7 Posted February 22, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Summicrons 28, 50, 75 If for M8, then replace the 75 with the 21 SEM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lax Jought Posted February 22, 2016 Share #8 Posted February 22, 2016 35mm f/1.4 Summilux (or 24mm f/1.4 Summilux). 50mm f/0.95 Noctilux (although I'd be just as ecstatic with the Summilux f/1.4 too). 90mm f/2 Summicron. These three lenses would cover 98% of everything I need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

a.noctilux Posted February 22, 2016 Share #11 Posted February 22, 2016 Have we missed out a "which two lenses" thread? Waiting for "Four lenses thread", then "Five..." If that make sense...all in f:4 - Super-Angulon 4/21 for it's never-match characters - Tri-Elmar-M 4/28-35-50 the one I use the most now - Macro-Elmar-M 4/90 with adapter, the next one I use the most I know that I would regret Noctilux, Summilux, Summicron Regards, Arnaud Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

asiafish Posted February 22, 2016 Share #17 Posted February 22, 2016 I'll go with the three that I already own. 35mm f/2.5 Summarit, 50mm f/1.4 Summilux ASPH and 90mm f/2.8 Elmarit (1960s). if money was not an issue I'd swap the 90mm for the new 90mm f/2.4 Summarit.

Mijo Posted February 22, 2016 Share #18 Posted February 22, 2016 18mm SEM, 35mm FLE and the 75mm Summicron. I just need the 75 and I'm there, had it at one time but traded it for the 90mm Macro. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
