He would probably be able to afford a couple of Leica lenses as well.

Of course, He already has his name on one type of M6, no ?

And the winner is Ict with 41 

Pretty sure some of us beat me to the punch but they are too shy to admit the truth :D. Now 41 lenses make less than one lens per year for oldies like me. Got my first Leica lens in 1971, a Summicron 50/2 v3 that i acquired with my first Leica camera, a superb M4. Was the only lens i sold for lack of money then. Always regretted it so i sweared i would not sell a single Leica lens since then. Promise kept so far :rolleyes:.

@lct

I beat you here, I didn't know that your first Leica lens is the same as mine 50mm Summicron III ...and M4

I had sold many  ( ...hundred ? ) after trying  them out over years,  lenses but always be able to keep mine this very first Leitz M lens ...

As told often, I waited six months to have this first lens second hand to be able to use my M4 first Leica also paid (well with my first salary and six months credit).

You are not alone Raid.

Well, if I count any 50mm RF lens that has ltm or M mount, then I have Leica lenses, plus lenses by Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Zeiss, Zeiss-clones FSU. Then I need to add all the lenses that Brian Sweeney has made for me in ltm or M mounts for some lens makers, such as Schneider Kreuznach for Retina. Then there are lenses that with an adapter could be used with an M camera. Just the 50mm lenses made by Leica include for me :

Elmar 5cm 3.5

Elmar 50 2.8

Summitar 50 2

Collapsible Summicron 50 2

Rigid Summicron 50 2  (two copies)

DR Summicron 50 2

Summarit 50 1.5

21, 25, 28, 35, 50, 75, 85, 90.

21mm is Zeiss 4,5/21mm ZM.

25mm is an ancient Voigtlander, without rangefinder coupling, which I almost never use, and I cannot remember the details. (I used it for a few shots, and was not impressed.)

28mm: Elmarit-R, and a Summaron LTM.

35mm: Summaron-M f/3.5, and Zeiss Distagon 1,4/35mm ZM.

50mm is Summilux-M ASPH, and Summicron-M. The ‘Cron is the current optical formula, as i understand it, but with a special-edition exterior that resembles the Rigid.

75mm is an out-of-production Voigtlander, still in it box, and put away, so, I am unsure of its details. (The panic-demic curtailed my shooting, such that 35mm and 50mm are all that I have been using.)

90mm is a Thambar-M.
