I have a Super Takumar 50mm f/1.4, A Vivitar Series 1 85mm f/1.4, And several Auto focus Zooms and primes.

So the question is...WHAT NEXT?

I have a Sigma EX DG APO 1.4 Teleconverter that works very well with it. Also a M42 Vivitar 2X and a P/K mount 2X Vivitar. They will all work with it and function quite well. So What Next?

What about a Zuiko 24mm?
Or a Leica lens?
Not the 24mm, though.

Perhaps an Elmarit-R 2.8/28?

Thanks to all. I have a Super Takumar 50 f/1.4 and a Pentax F 50mm f/1.7. Would a Pancolar be better than those?

I was advised by many here to upgrade from my Vivitars so I thought I'd let the Vivitars help out. A theme you say??? Yeah...I can see it too. Just as long as I stay away from the Leica lenses I'll be able to build a good collection...With Leica's a divorce might happen...LOL I've got 44 years invested in my marriage..No need to leave that now!! LOL

Oh, some Leitz lenses are not that expensive.

A nice Summicron-R 2/50 can be found for clearly under €200,- and the Elmarit-R 2.8/28 for about €300,- sometimes.

All you need is patience. Wink

Well, after looking at your list, it seems that you have a possible hole between 85mm and 135mm ... What about an SMC Takumar 105/2.8 ? I love the sharpness and the bokeh of this lens ...
