Summicron a great deal as I did my 35 mm f 3.5 screw mount Summaron...The 90 mm f4 Elmar saw some use but the 135 mm Hektor remained in the bag all the time. Just didnt find use for it. That was my experience last year in Italy - I took some shots with the 85mm Jupiter, but most were with standard or wide-angle lenses. I was in Wetzlar last week, and used mostly the 28mm, 35mm and 50mm focal lengths when exploring the old town (as a slide-film user, I ‘crop’ by changing lenses). A few pics were with the 21mm when the angular coverage was essential - for example when photographing the local cathedral or the site of the original Ernst Leitz Optical Institute - but the 135mm was used only once.
