Thank you ! Great book, Internet is a great thing indeed. It is always interesting what other people think in a different country not only from photography of course.

I'd say my favorite manual focus lenses are:
Nikkor ED 50-300mm f4.5
Nikkor 35-200mm f3.5
Nikkor 50-135mm f3.5
Nikkor 20mm f3.5
If I can throw in an autofocus, I'd say the cheap Nikkor 18-55mm.

Oh, C'mon! This is the easy way out.
Even if your lenses are changing with your mood, you surely have a mood you're often in. So you can list some lenses you use regularly.

I think you would be suprised by how little I did pay many of those lenses.
For instance, who could think possible to buy a Hollywood Distagon for 180 Euros? And yet that is what I did.
And I paid a Distagon 35/1.4 something around 300 Euros... today the lens is worth about 1000 in the used market.
I was lucky, but I also was timely. I bought many of those lenses when they were not so known like they are now.

Hmm. And I thought *I* had a lot of lenses. Turns out, I don't. Too bad I can't convince the wife of that.
My list? Much shorter than most, and very Nikon oriented, since the only camera bodies I use now are Nikon. However, I will include a few favorites I no longer own, but immensely enjoyed using.
Ultra-wide
Nikkor 20/3.5 UD (factory Ai'd)
Wide
Nikkor 28/2.0 Ai
Asahi Super-Takumar 35/3.5
Normal
Asahi Super-Takumar 50/1.4
Nikkor 50/1.8 Ais
Nikkor 50/1.2 Ai (for subject under 15 feet away)
Short tele
Nikkor 105/2.5 Ais
Med tele
Asahi Super-Takumar 135/3.5
Asahi Super-Takumar 200/4
Long tele
Nikkor 300/4.5 Ais IF ED
Super tele
MC 3M-5AC 500/8 (hard to use well. Easy to carry)
Zooms
Nikkor 25-50/4 Ais
Nikon 75-150/3.5 Series E
I considered listing my recently acquired Tokina 150-500/5.6, but the thought of carrying it anywhere was too tiring.
Bellows lenses
Rodenstock 75/4 APO Rodagon
El Nikkor 105/5.6 N
Schneider Componon-S 135/5.6
