Well, it is a start

It has taken me some time to get my collection of Leica M mount lenses together, and a couple of non-acceptable ones  :( .
Will have to see what they are like.  I am sure others will come along quite quickly.

Very good news, most of my adapters are from Novoflex and they are of very high quality.

Only need the Leica M adapter as I use spilt adapters for Nikon F and Canon FD :)
Cheers,

Tom, which M mount lenses?

I have Voigtlander 25mm f4, 35mm f1.7 and Elmarit 28mm f2.8 3rd version given by a friend. 
I bought Voigtlander 35mm f1.2 v1 and Zeiss 50mm 1.5

The best was a borrowed the Apo 50mm Summicron which is a truly remarkable work of engineering.

Hi JJ,  I use ZM 85 f4 and 50 1.5.  VM 15 F4.5III, 35 f1.7, 40 f1.4, 50 f1.5.  Leica M Summarit M 75 f2.5,  Elmarit M 90 f2.8.
I also still have a couple of LMT lenses.  I really am sorry I sold the Voigt 75 f2.5 LMT.  Very different to the Leica.
I shopped around for latest edition of all.  Bought most new or went through multiple copies if the couple I bought used.
The good news is that I've bought well and will recover at least as much as I spent.   Cannot say the same for Sony  FE lenses I have sold :(

I use several Ais/Ai/D lenses on Df and Sony.

I use the M mount lenses for small, light air travel mostly.  I have a feeling my wife will want most of the Sony gear if I opt for Z6 or Z7 and sell most if the Olympus gear.  I will keep my Pen F and some of the lighter, smaller lenses.
