16mm: Zenitar Fisheye
50mm: MC Helios 77M-4 (I'm cheating, it's 52mm Very Happy )
135mm: Jupiter 37AM (speaking for Orio and me I think Very Happy )

I am more a Takumar fan...
~20mm: Dont have any experience. But Russian (Flek) are promising. And as Attila told, Tamron 17mm is also great lens.

50mm: I will choose Super Takumar 50mm f1.4 above all, I have.

135mm: Takumar 135mm f3.5 Preset version. (but with ext tube, as the closes focusing distance is long with this lens)

- Zenitar 2.8/16 (since my Peleng has an EOS-mount)
- Revuenon-Tomioka 1.4/55 (since my Pentax SMC 1.7/50 has a PK-mount)
- Jupiter-37A 3.5/135 (since my Nikkor QC 3.5/135 has a Nikon-mount)

But on a longer trip I would neither leave a good 28mm (atm Kiron 2/28 ) nor my MIR-1B nor my Telear-N 3.5/200 at home...

50mm: Nikon nikkor 50/1.8 or for less money: Chinon 50/1.7

135mm: Vivitar 135/2.8 with pull-out lens hood, cheap as chips, great
performance! My favorite 135 at the moment
