My next two will probably be an Helios-40 and a Zenitar-16.
If I can make the list longer, I'd add a Volna as well.
But it depends on the market and on my economy
It might well be that the next lens could have a rangefinder attached in the back...

2. Tamron SP 300 will be tested next week, so that is technically the second must have lens. _________________

I don't know how many fast macro lenses exist. I know of course of the Zeiss ZF Makro-Planar 2/100, which reaches a 1:2 magnification, and that could be a fantastic lens but you would have to be ready to spend around 1000 Euros because the lens is only available new for the moment.
But generally speaking I think that the concept of "fast" and "macro" hardly go well together, first because the distance from the film plane makes them naturally dark and second because any f/stop faster than f/8 are hardly of any use in macrophotography (due to very shallow DOF) unless you want to do "moody bokeh" shots with very little parts of subject in the focused range.
For which purpose, by the way, a far better (not to mention cheaper) solution than a macro lens is to get a very fast 50mm (like f/1.4 or f/1.2) and attach extension tubes behind it.

I have macro lenses from 50mm to 200mm from f2.8 to f4 . Smart solution is a Nikkor 55mm f3.5 Macro 1:1 + flash or ring flash.Without external light source you able to make good macro photo only on direct sunlight in my opinion. Fast lens doesn't need at all because need to use at least F8 to get some distance in sharpness. With open aperture you can't get sharp the full bug. _________________ -------------------------------

I only have one must-have at present (and it takes second place to decent photo-scanner). I don't have any lenses between 58 and 135mm apart from Tamron zooms, so something around 85-100 would be nice, M42 only. Maybe a Jupiter-9, although I'm not sure about the bokeh, or a Tak 85 but they always seem to go for too many ???s. |

Yes, it was a good price (ca. Euro 140,- incl. shipping) but that is still about $200,-.
What are my next must-have lenses?
I am almost afraid to say that there is none.
There is no real "must-have", after I have found a Nikkor 1.8/85.
But these lenses would be some kind of "nice-to-haves":
- Leica Elmarit 2.8/28 or Leica Elmarit 2.8/135 (just to have and compare a Leica lens to my others)
- MIR-20 or MIR-47 or Belomo 2.8/17 or Flek 2.8/20 or Flek 4/20 or Tokina 17 or Tamron 17 or Cosina 17 (or any other manual superwide, so that I can do some wide angle shots with an MF lens.)
- Jupiter-3 1.5/50 (M39 LTM) or a superwide for my M39 FED-3b _________________ Personal forum activity on pause every now and again (due to job obligations)!

No, I am not, definitely. The f1.4 will surely be too expensive. I would have a bad conscience to pay that much for a lens at the moment.
There are many things my kids will need in the next time.
This is the point where I become reasonable.
I mean I have expected to buy a 2.0/85 someday and now I will have a 1.8/85 - more than I have wished for. So, no need to be faster. _________________ Personal forum activity on pause every now and again (due to job obligations)!
