Mine is, without doubt, the Kaleinar-3B 2.8/150. Very Happy

You can see it here mounted on a Kiev camera:

The Sonnar 180 in Pentacon 6 mount is very robust and sexy. Sort of like looking down a singularity in a black hole. Shocked

well maybe not the Tair as a whole...but that aperture sure is sexy. I never thought I could ever be this entranced by a freakin circle!

moleman! are we looking at about 20 blades? Shocked

You can remove the "about": I counted them on my copy, they are exactly 20 Smile

That is what I call an anti-conformist lens! Wink

Sexiest has to be one of my scalloped Nikkors - I love the styling. My 24mm for my Auto 110 is extremely cute though - how can you not love a lens little bigger than the tip of your thumb Wink

Hmmm... I will have to check again.
But I think that these are my sexiest lenses:

Leica Elmarit-R 2.8/35 "Mr. Precision"

Because of the way it "feels"... Embarassed


Nikkor-S.C 1.2/55 "Mr. Universe"

Because of its "beefy" looks and the perfect proportions.


Rollei Planar 1.8/50 "Jewel"

I just love the combination of a black body and two fine silver sides of the rings.


Jupiter-11 4/135 "Silver Surfer"

Because of its all silver body.


Soligor MC 3.5/70-220 Macro "Juggernaut"

Just in case it is the size that counts. Wink

I have only a few lenses, but it's hard for me to choose the sexiest Smile After due consideration, I am choosing a Trioplan. I also like other lenses which I haven't (old Zeiss Triotar or Sonnar and especially pre-war Biotar 7.5cm 1:1.5).

My Trioplan - isn't he sexy?


Of course I also love the ancient design of my black Biotar 5.8cm and small Tessar 5cm.

This is very nice together Maxim. KhanX really nice one too, I fixed your label, this is not a Contax lens.
