I'm pretty happy with my collection of lenses and there are only a few I would like to add now, got me thinking what others would like to add to theirs, not dream lenses if money was no object, but lenses you are actually looking to acquire when you can.
My list:
Konica Hexanon 2.8/15mm - Stunning lens, would be the widest lens I owned and I collect Hexanons.
Konica Hexanon 1.8/85 - Stunning lens, I sold the 85mm lenses I owned as they were good but not great.
Konica Hexanon 2.8/100 - just to round out my Hexanon collection.
Jupiter-9 2/85 - in Kiev/Contax mount, an early silver one for my Kiev II, I already have J-12, J-8 and J-11 so this one would complete the set and is a stunning lens in it's own right.
Flektogon 2.8/35 - the Werra version, I already have the Tessar and Cardinar for the Werra so want to complete the set (and also find a nice working Werra)
Miranda 2.8/25 - the widest lens for the Miranda Sensorex, to complete my Miranda collection.
Apart from those, I can't really think of much else I'm looking for, although Zeiss lenses in Contax/Kiev mount interest me greatly, I doubt they will come along in my budget range though _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |

I too have more than I can use, but there are a very small few that I am willing to part with, I culled all the lesser ones and ones that I didn't really love using. I am yet to try my J-12 on the Kiev, looking forward to it though, that will be my first taste of Biogon. ZM Biogons are sadly out of my reach (as is a nice M mount cam like the ZI, Hexar or Voigtlander) so a J12 on Kiev will have to suffice, but I suspect I will love the J12 like I love the J8.
Great wide angle lenses are never cheap so I consider myself exceptionally lucky to have obtained the Tokina 17 and Konica 21 and 24 as part of two very cheap job lots of Konica SLRs and lenses, otherwise I'd never have been able to afford them and be stuck to a cheap 24mm like a Sigma or Cimko for my wide action. I love shooting wide angles more than anything else and the three I mentioned are among my very favourite lenses and three I will never sell willingly. _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |

I have been selling rather than buying in the last months.
And as far as my wishlist is concerned, I have a problem: all the lenses that I would love to add are way too expensive.
I would risk to get in serious trouble with my wife.
OK, here it is, Carsten's wishlist:
- Leica Summilux-R 1.4/50 (latest version) for the 5D
- Leica Summicron-M 2/28 Asph. for the NEX-7
- Leica Summilux-M 1.4/35 Asph. (latest version) for the NEX-7
- Leica Summilux-M 1.4/50 Asph. (latest version) for the NEX-7
- Zeiss Sonnar E 1.8/24 ZA for the NEX-7
There is NO affordable lens that I have on my wishlist. I have everything I need - and more. _________________ Personal forum activity on pause every now and again (due to job obligations)!

A bright wide angle lens, 24 or 35, which ever bargain comes first.
That Tamron 300 2.8 i could buy but couldn't due to low cash |

Some great replies here, cheers guys.
@ Excalibur - why not wider than 24mm? Purely on price?
@ Attila - I would love that one too!
@ Hari - I love my 1959 Collapsible I-50 so I can see why you want one, my 1966 rigid I-50 is great too.
@ fotomachi - I should have put that one on my list too, only reason I didn't is because I fear it won't come within my budget
@ Sirrith - I don't know the Zodiak and Mir you listed, is the Zodiak the 30mm fisheye for MF? What's the Mir? _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |
