You can mount a Leica Noctilux M 50/0.95 on Canon EF using my patent-pending M->EF adapter.*
(*) adapter requires duct taping an M9 to your Canon EF body of choice. A version for Nikon F is also in the development phase.

A Leica Elmarit-R 90mm 2.8, version II. The one with the green coating. I'm using it on a (surprise!) Leicaflex SL2. A very nice combo.

Anything, yes, but not lenses for me. My attention lately has been on Profoto lighting gear: recently acquired an Acute Twin head and a MultiSpot (Dedolight fresnel with flash/modelling assembly). Fun stuff, cool results: clicky

That talk is borderline heresy in this thread, allow me to help you, do you have any tilt/shift lenses?

always forget about that one. don't really get the point of it either.
That lens is for 1:1 high resolution work.
And the iris would be f/1.0 at infinity - lens focus not till infinity.
But the effectiv iris is "only" 2.0 at 1:1. This is good because of diffraction - many high resolution macro lenses are realy fast.
About new lenses: Got a defective Zeiss Jena 135/3.5. There are more problems than I thought reading the auction text, but it is still ok for me. Glass seems fine.

Will the 85 Repro Nikkor even cover FF135? Quite a few of the ultrafast industrial lenses Nikon made (such as the 35mm f0.9) have very small image circles (the aforementioned 35/0.9 is 12mm, if I recall correctly).

Nothing special like Summilux R 35/1.4 this week.Only mundane Nikkors 180/2.8 ED AIS and 105/2.5 AIS plus Minolta MD 70-210/4.Still awaited more or less impatiently.

Those first two are great lenses. I don't know the Minolta lens.

4 hours ago I was not aware that I will buy it - ZF.2 50/1.4 Planar mint,boxed,all paperwork included -hardly ever used by the guy who had found out that manual focusing is "too difficult" for him.
Dear Mzimu,please give me some time and a nice weather over Easter to try it out!

Decided to try the ZE50P, too. Might have to buy a 5D3 for it. 
Excuses, excuses...
