I haven't personally acquired those yet. But are in the process to. One step at at time I can no longer add more since the poll has started. I will try to do another one later covering all of the classic designs... _________________ Follow me on 500px |

This is wrong question I think , I have all and what a surprise no preference I like all, what is better not really lens design matter , rather maker matter a Carl Zeiss Sonnar always won on cheaply made 'Sonnar' lenses from third party makers even on Nikon. Lens scheme is one thing, how lens built another. _________________ -------------------------------

I voted for Planar, seems to me like the most balanced rendering, good for everything. That being said, agree with Attila, scheme is one thing, but they all render differently even if the scheme is very close, so I would choose individual lenses rather than the scheme. _________________ Many lenses and some film bodies for sale here: http://forum.mflenses.com/canon-fd-minolta-md-c-mounts-m42-pentax-and-more-t50465.html
