I have two CZJ 50mm Tessars but I've only tried one of them (a zebra version) which proved to be a rather poor lens IMO.
The only other I have is a SMC Pentax 50/1.4 (I think I have the M version but the A & F versions are optically identical).
I've certainly used the 50/1.7 more. |

Odd list.
Of the presented lenses I only have two:
Minolta MC 58mm/F1.2: It's indeed legendary and there is nothing more to say.
Jupiter-12 35mm/F2.8: Not bad at all on APS-C like my Ricoh GXR-M but rather crappy on full size sensor cameras (blurred corners even on the A7R II with new sensor design). Therefore nothing special.
No plans to follow the recommendations of the blog writer; i.e. to acquire any of the other lenses.

Likely. But not that one. |
Only got one on the original list and it's that in probably at least four versions.. 😂 |

Don't think I do not appreciate the value of civility, but all these top 10 lists are self-serving. |

Rangefinder stuff is automatically not in my collection as I shoot a Pentax DSLR
I have the SMC Pentax-A 50mm 1:1.4 (And it's Takumar predecessor)
CZJ Tessar 50/2.8
Sigma Mini-Wide in the Non-Vignetting version.
That Vivitar 200/3.5 looks a lot like a Tokina I have but like it is a slightly more modern version. My Tokina is from 1968

Jupiter – 12 - A great lens, worthy of the 'classic' tag.
Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 50mm 2.8 - Another great lens, and everyone must have at least one by now?
Sigma Mini-Wide 28mm - I've got three, and try as I might I can't get a decent picture from any of them, on APSC or Full Frame. Not on my list by any measure.
Vivitar Auto F3.5 200mm - What an oddball for a list like this, but it's on my list of favourites all day long. |
Well I still use a film camera and I too am not impressed with the Sigma mini wide 28mm...ok it takes pictures if stuck for a lens, but IMO the common FDn 28mm f2.8 is superior.
