EBC X-Fujinon 100/2.8
SMC Pentax K 85mm F1.8
Canon FLP pancake 38/2.8
Also looking for Konica Hexanon Preset's in AR mount, the 57/1.4, & the 135/3.5
See here: http://www.buhla.de/Foto/Konica/eHexanonUebersicht.html[/b]
Update:
Topcor RE 58/18 in black
Contax G 28 that has mechanical issues, I'm planning to transplant the optics.
I'd like to find a nice but cheap Leica M 50/2, no tab style, would prefer the knurled focus ring like the Fat Tele-Elmarit 90/2.8 or the Black DR, that would be sweet, but $$$$ I'm currently using a Fujinon L 50/2 LTM.
It's for a small travel kit: CV15III, Leica M 24/2.8 Asph(wish it or 28mm was tab-less), Fujinon L 50/2, 90/2.8 Tele-Elmarit(Fat), it all fits in a Lowepro StreamLine 100

On my list meanwhile is only ONE lens!  Amazing reduction, isn't it? 
A superwide prime (2.8/14) or superwide zoom (12-24, 15-30) for Nikon fullframe.

And now with the Sigma 12-24 for Nikon here, my list is empty! Can you believe that?
I think for the very first time in like 10 years, the list is EMPTY!

i do also own a 1933 Summitar, bit of balsamics, never a CLA
in fact i really like it, i'm lookin for someone to re-glue the front group ... |

Well, here is a nice source for that Simlar. Looks pretty much like the Elmar 9cm, probably equal lens scheme too.
http://www.cameraguild.jp/nekosan/simlar9cm.htm
My list:
1. CV 15 VM III
2. Japanese LTM lenses (currently looking after Chiyoko, Tanack and Kyoei)
3. Cheap rare SLR lenses

I wouldn't recommend that lens.
I owned it once, but sold it. It is very heavy and difficult to focus.
The focus ring is tight and rather hard to move.

Are you sure that this is true for every copy? Perhaps that was just an issue with your lens...

No, Ive had my Topcor 85 for a long while now, it's part of the reason I am holding off on the other 85's, it's awesome.

Actually I have no idea. However, the serial numbers are all quite in the same range from what I've seen up to now. I think your "new" lens is just apprx. 300 before mine.
