I look at must-have's above and except for the Fleks and CZJ glass, I find I have many of what are desired. Guess I was lucky on that eBay spree a couple years ago. I guess the biggest holes in my lineup are: SMC Takumar 15/3.5 -- some 24/2 -- Super-Takumar or Mir-24M 35/2 -- some 180/2.8 maybe. I don't suppose anyone with an extra Mir-24M would like to swap for a SuperTak 55/2? I didn't think so...

Besides those praised above, a couple that SHOULD be on must-have lists include the Isco Westron 35/2.8 (plastic ring, great optics) and Tele-Tak 200/5.6 (small, almost faultless). And the apochromatic Industar-50 is pretty damn good on tubes.
