All the really desirable lenses are already highly priced....

15/2.8
19 Mk2
28 Mk2
35/1.4
35/2 later
35-70/2.8
50/1.4 E60
60 - affordable!
80/1.4 - not too bad cost

Anything APO as Doug said

90/2
100/2.8 - not too bad cost
180/2
180/2.8
280/4
Modular APO Telyt
70-180/2.8

I have some of these lenses and they are just stunning given their age...

It might be an interesting time to discuss really good R lenses and really
bad R lenses.  just in case the SL camera body becomes a great base for
these older optics..

 

Prices right now on R lenses are pretty low. might make for a good
discussion in advance of rising prices..

 

People have spoken highly of the APO Macro 60 and 100 Elmarit
