Which CV Lenses Do You Currently own

I've made the statement many times that the CV 35/2.5 is the most popular lens here on RFF. I've no proof, but out of curiosity let us know which CV lenses you CURRENTLY own.

Note: Because of space limitations I had to gang everything below 28 into one choice and I had to not include the 50/3.5.

I have 12, 15, 21, 28, and 35 Pancake 1, which I accidently forgot to check the box. Just received the 50 1.5 Nokton today. What a beautiful lens!!

One of the reasons that the 35f2.5 may well be the most popupar lens, besides it being really good for a reasonable price, is the fact that the Leica 35mm offerings are so expensive.

Sorry I screwed-up the subject line and can't edit it. It should read "Own" not "know"

I currently have the 15 and the 35/2.5 P1. Although I now also have the Leica 35/1.4 ASPH I will never sell my CV P1; I took some good pictures with it and love the lens.

I'm happy owner of a Nokton 50/1.5 and 21/4. I'd like to add a 35/2.5 or a 28/3.5.
Ciao

28/1.9
35/1.7

Some day I will replace my 75/2.5 and the 50/2 looks mighty nice too.

It does, and if I wasn't fat with 50's already I'd like to try it out. Your list looks like mine less the 21 and adding the 50/1.5, 35/2.5 and the 40/1.4 SC

I currently own a 35/1.7 and the 75. The other half bought himself the 50/1.5 for christmas... so I has use of that as well. Am looking at getting a wider angle - either the 21 or the 25 - would love some feedback on either of those lenses.

I bought the 35/2.5 Color Skopar and the 75/2.5 Heliar for my Bessa R a couple of years back - They're both excellent values.

Only two---the 25/4 and 35/1.7. Besides CV, I also have the Rokker C 90/4, though that is the least used lens among the three.

All the CVs are excellent values. They really compliment the Leitz lenses that I own and they do not make. They really fill in the holes.
