I finally got myself a NEX-5N which means I can start exploring my ever growing collection of mf lenses. I have a lot of lenses in my drawers. When choosing lenses for my camera bag, I have the following criteria:

- smallish but fast (with a couple of exceptions)
- sharp
- nice bokeh
- a minimum of Purple fringing and CA
- exotic or rare is a nice bonus

Here's a fun kit I have in mind:

- Konica Hexanon AR 21/2.8
- Olympus Zuiko PEN-F 42/1.2
- Minolta MC Rokkor-PG 58/1.2
- Olympus OM Zuiko 100/2
- Voigtländer SL APO-Lanthar 125/2.5 Macro
- Minolta RF Rokkor 250/5.6

Should cover most situations, right? Wink

I hope to find some time to shoot soon, and share some picturers with all of you.

edit: Hexanon 28/2.8 to 21/2.8

forget it... won't work.. there is no Konica Hexanon AR 28/2.8 Wink

Since you are talking about "exotic or rare" and if I look at your other lenses, I guess you are talking about the UC Hexanon 28/1.8
This I can recommend, it's not just rare.. it's really good too!

You are right about the 28/2.8 which does not exist. I meant to write the Konica Hexanon AR 21/2.8 not that I would mind the UC 28/1.8 either.

Do you own those lenses already?

Yes? Congratulations!
No? Be prepared to pay a lot of money! Wink

Yes, that M-Hexanon would fit my list but I tried to keep the list short. Can't cover every focal lenght, or can I? Shocked

I'm fortunate enough to own these lenses, so thank you. Very Happy I Paid market price for a couple of them (ouch) and made a few good deals and a bargain or two.
