Leica Summarit-M f2.5/50mm for use on my EOS M as a small&short tele complement to the RX1. Guess I will have to check out Magic Lantern for the EOS M to improve manual focus handling.
EOS M with EF-M 22mm pancake as reference. The Summarit is compact but not really lightweight. The lens is solidly built, the Fotodiox Pro adapter is really tight and the complete package feels sturdy. Samples.

Hasselblad CF 250mm f/5.6 SA lens.
Had some loose change in your pockets? I'll bet you don't now!
Very interesting lens. Congrats.
It would be nice to see how this lens differentiates itself in practice from others, being a superachromat, so hope you post some images that show what it can do.

112 mm Tamron Normal mc filter for Adaptall2 300 2.8. After reading up most people say the lens is actually sharper with this filter. Personally it is hard to see any difference.

Haha, congratulations! I hope you like the colours of it. What lens(es) will you be using?
Took the plunge..
Well...af is a bit of non-existent in my collection. I got a bunch of lenses in F-mount though: 105/2.5, 55/2.8 Micro, 50/2, 50/1.4 Ai's (not Ai-S), Kiron 70-210/3.5, ZF35/2 and a lot of assorted Adaptall SP2...
Recommend any Nikkor AF lenses? Perhaps not the G series...
Ed: It just arrived this morning. I still can't open the box - keep walking around it like a cat. Will probably take me a week or so..

Haha, okay, I will just say nothing about this quirk Maybe pick up an extra battery or two. Careful when you buy them, I believe that it uses a different battery than the D200 (which has a CCD, btw, and is meant to have great colour, if nonsensical high ISO performance; I have wanted to try one and compare).
I use the newer G zooms, the 24-70 is perfect, and don't know much about the older ones, but if you want to keep up the theme, the 35-70/2.8 is meant to be good (no typo).
For the studio, it could be a perfect set of focal lengths from normal to tele effective. As a neutral lens, the 60 Micro is very good, very neutral rendering, but maybe you have that covered with the 55 Micro, I don't know it. The 105 you have is obviously fantastic, one of the best lenses ever made with beautiful rendering.
Maybe try a manual focus length first, and see how you get on, perhaps the 55 or 105? The 50/2 might also be worth a try. Alex in Russia recently calibrated his focusing screen on his S5 carefully, and found that he got a high keeper rate.
I am very curious to hear how you get on with this camera, whether positive or negative. Do spend some time processing images from it and see how you like the files. Maybe read the manual first, to avoid getting stumped by the oddities in the menus.

Interesting follow-up....
I mentioned a few pages above when I bought this that the aperture was a bit oily/sticky and wouldn't shut from wide open...it did from F4 but not from 2.8....sooooo.....
I let it sit for a month @ F16.... and apparently the leaves dried up enough so the leaves now close from F2.8......nice....
