I have the Meritar 2.9/50. It's a triplet, not a bad lens, definitely has character.

Update:

I ordered a leica 50mm F/2 summar. Time will tell if I got a good deal or not, as it is old.

Question:

Anyone have any opinions on the Canon Serenar 50mm F1.9?

The Serenar 1.9/50 Collapsible? I have one. It is a decent performer but far outclassed by the Canon LTM 1.8/50. All three of the 1.8/50s, the all silver Serenar or the later two black and silver Canon versions have the same optical scheme. Later lenses most likely have better coatings.

Ok. ty

I grabbed a 50mm 1.8 ltm. I'll keep a eye out on a lower priced 1.9 as it seems cool.

Ended up grabbing the abused ( surface scratched) Canon 50mm 1.9 LTM for half what a seller had it listed for. A gamble but at that price worth playing with.

Can someone give me a little assistance on finding the filter size on the two Canon Lenses? I need to order lens caps.

Looks like they are 40mm.

Thoughts on the summar's lens cap size?
