How many 50mm lens do you own?

[kdemas]

OK, let's see. Those that will mount on my M's naturally or with am adapter include:

Noctilux 1.0 with Built in hood
Summicron 2.0 (newest)
Collapsible Summicron 2.0
Elmar 2.8 (latest)
Summitar
C-Sonnar 1.5
Heliar 3.5
Collapsible Heliar 2.0

Lots of others in different mounts, including Nikon S, Contax C/Y, Contax N, Nikon F and Leica R. In short, I love 50's

You can always turn it into an AIS lens. I don't know who would do the trick but ask about and you'll find out.

There are some conversion kits out there if you keep your eyes out. I got one for my 45mm GN Nikkor not long ago.

10 including two macros: 1 in LTM mount (Red Scale Elmar); 2 in M mount (classic Elmar 2.8, Summilux v2); 1 in EF mount (50/1.4), 6 in C/Y mount (2x CZ Planar 50/1.4, S-Planar 60, Yashica ML's 50/2, 50/1.4 and 55/2.8).

[Mephiloco]

I have 3 total, all LTM. Sold off my EF mount 50/1.8, my FD 50/1.4 and 50/1.8, and now only have my 50/1.5 Summarit and 2 different versions of the Jupiter8.


Oh, and the 52/2.8 Industar, though I've yet to use it. It was a free lens, has some scratches on the front and rear element and is also the slowest lens I have in LTM, so it never gets touched

[squinza]

Don't know the exact number...
As far as R are concerned, I've got quite a few Canon 50mm, like

• 50/0.95
• 50/1.4
• 50/1.5
• 50/1.8
• 50/2.8

The 0.95 and the 1.5 being really interesting. I like the 50/2.8, too.
Then a FSU 50/2.0 (jupiter-something), a nice Wartime Zeiss sonnar, a (beaten up) summicron wetzlar and, coming to me right now, a Planar 50/2 (supposed to become my first choiche together with the Canon 50/1.5).

Then I've got a couple of 50mm for DSLR (including Canon 50/1.2).
Well, I'm quite fond of this focal length, being my first choice for every assignement

1989 Lux, 1970 Cron

5 or more..... no need to go count.

[jbielikowski]

0!


Now I have to buy one!

[Krosya]

Used to have a lot. Sold most of them, yet still have a few:
M/LTM mounts:

1. M-Hexanons 50/1.2 and 50/2
2. LTM Nikkor 50/1.4
3. Industar Coll. 50/3.5
4. Nokton 50/1.5

For Canons - 50/1.4 - one EF one FD.

Thats all. (well not counting similar FL in MF or 47mm or so in Fixed lens cameras).

Took me a long time to narrow it all down, - since I like 50mm FL.

[petronius]

Too many? No!

[Leicaliker]

I own 2 (only 3 lenses in total, the other being a 35mm). Last Elmar 2.8 and an F1 Noctilux. Compact and light vs speed. Covers all bases and I enjoy using both. Recently returned from holiday in Lebanon and found myself using Elmar during the day and switching to the Nocti for the evening.

[pvdhaar]

I've got three fifties..

M-Hexanon 50/2
FED 50/3.5 collapsible
Nikon 50/1.8AFD

[Roger Vadim]

Mhmm. Start counting...

Carl Zeiss Jena 2/50 in Contax mount (spectacular in B/W)
2 Jupiter 8 - " -
Nikkor 1.8/50 AiS
Nikkor 2/50 Ai
Industar fo the Fed
Does the Zeiss 2/45 for the G2 count as a 50? guess not.

The great Ais 55/2.8 Micro Nikkor got stolen together with the wonderfully brassed F3 last week. Still angry

Only 5. Room to get some more

Summicron DR
Hexanon M 50 F2
Zeiss 50 f2

50 mm normal lenses for all 35 mm cameras in various mounts: >20 probably > 30

Normal lenses for all cameras in all formats from 35 mm "subminiature format" to 7x17 ultra large format: Probably > 50 total.

Obviously I am counting only prime lenses.

I guess I need some therapy!

[fixbones]

Haziz: What therapy? Just hang around with like minded ppl and you'll feel normal....like in this forum......

Initially i thought wanting to add another 50mm to my collection (making a total of 3) was not very normal but as you can see clearly from the poll, it is clearly ABnormal to have less than 5 hahaha
