Too much $$$ being spent! I've decided I can't part with my Contax 35, so am going get a cheaper canon 50 1.2 LTM as my only lens for the m6 until I can save up again. If the ZM35 proves to be too much temptation I might be swayed to swap the Contax later.
i'm with you there – i took my photos of the c/y 35/1.4 to put it on sale, but i can't seem to bring myself to post the ad...

Same here. I have the 100/2 and 35/1.4 MMJ contax. Would rather sell my kidneys 
I see these lenses as investments, they will only go up in value.

I had it on eBay for about 12 hours, and then pulled it.! Reading my description was like reading an apology so it was clear it was the wrong thing to do

Funny how you practically have to give them away if you're selling...

Just got my Zeiss 21mm/2.8 ZE in the mail yesterday.
Beyond excited to get out and use it. I rented one last year and finally pulled the trigger on buying one last week.

Latest was the Nikkor 28mm f/2.0-N.C Auto in pristine condition with the original leather case. After a lengthy search, I was able to source the original Ai conversion kit which seems to be as rare as hens teeth. It is one large piece of glass compared to its little brother, the 28mm f/2.8 AI-s.
Half the fun is researching and finding these old school gems.

And now they're very happy they sent you your replacement box for the 15.

seattle 2.12.1578 by artistwithlight, on Flickr
Overall a thumbs up from me, although it is a nikon focus throw, so you canon and RF manual focus shooters might find it a little problematic.

My latest: Rokinon (Samyang) 14/2.8 in Nikon mount. I'm just about dialed in on the actual distances for the focus ring! 
(Seriously, I am! 
)
Both test shots are wide open, slight PP in LR5.7.

Tokina AT-X 60-120mm f/2.8 (constant)
Together with the Minolta MD 35-70mm f/3.5 Macro this is the best manual zoom I have ever used.

85 comes in today. My new Otus Twin babies..
I used to complain 85L mkii is heavy but after today, it is much lighter vs 85 Otus.

I have just received a Leica M 90mm f2.5 Summarit lens for usage with my A7r kit/system. This is my third M mount lens and my 2nd Leica M lens for my system. It joins my WATE, Minolta CLE MC 40mm f2 M-Rokkor lens and my extensive Leica R lenses.
