Interested in what everyone has been buying lately.
For me it is the vivitar series one 200mm/3.5 AF
I havent had a chance to shoot it yet since I will need to do a mount swap to get it on my sony... its looking like the AF is nonfunctional unfortunately, although Im not that concerned

Mamiya RZ67 140mm f/4.5 Macro M-L/A for $60(!!!), with non-functional floating element. $20 worth of parts later from M.A.C., and it's good as new! (And worth about $400-450 now... ;-)

I just got in a Contax Sonnar 100/3.5 .
I love my Planar 100/2, but it's quite a hefty chunk of glass; I'm hoping the sonnar will get me something close in a lighter, smaller walkaround lens for outdoor/daylight use. I haven't had a chance to use it much yet, but it's looking great so far. Of course, the planar is still far superior at f/2-2.8 .

Good addition! I have both, and they make a fine pair. The S100 was the C/Y budget buy, but doesn't play second fiddle to any lens.
My latest Alt acquisition was the Yashica 50/1.4 ML. After several months, it has yet to see "first light".

I just got a Canon FD 50/3.5 Macro and a 24/2.0 as somehow speciality lenses for my NEX - along with the lightweight lens kit in M-mount, I wanted a not too expensive macro lens and a 35mm equiv. for low light.

FD55/1.2 for the GF1
Pentax 645 75mm for use with the Mirex T/S
Ugly Bronica 40mm ETRS Zenzanon (a mistake, I should have got the 40mm SQ and a Mamiya adapter to use with the Mirex T/S... darn.... but I'll play with it a little when it arrives next week.
Not so recently an OM 100/2
