There are two lenses that I will never, never sell. The first is the 50mm DR Summicron. Heavy as a sumo wrestler in diving gear (and one of these day's I'll have to get mine painted black -- I can't stand chrome lenses), but damn I love the look of that lens's images. The other is my 1980s, pre-ASPH Summicron 35 (with square hood). Unbeatable together with Tri-X or HP-5. I'm barely worthy of owning it, it's capable of such fantastic photographs.
