I keep them with my matches. And I've played around with putting them on my Viso with bellows with the do dads I've already got. No 105mm though darn!. But a conspicuous contender would be my 63mm lens. They won't sell this lens to just anyone!:) The lens in which all my darkroom printed Leica negs must pass! Unless I spill coffee all over it in a Starbucks; Shooting macros in The Heights. Of Manhattan Valley. This is all balanced out by the fact that my favorite loupe is a 50mm 1.4 Nikkor turned upside down with hole in its body cap. Nothing I've run into not JSK or nothin had been its equal. On my camera I'll use an AF 1.8 made in Thailand which cost 99.99 USD and turns out to be a USD lens. Lousy in the darkroom though I think. I think that's "NOR nothin".
