What was the question?
Good, I don't make a list what I liked in the past or what I could like again.
Currently I use a lot a Zeiss Touit 12/2.8 on a Fuji, it's more versatile than I thought. Very good sharpness, sometimes I have it with me in an exhibition because it gives decent reproductions after straightening the lines, I can go pretty close. I like it's natural look, even when every close to a subject it takes a long time until I see the typical ultra wide perspective distortions.
It's not as supersharp as the Sigma dp 0 with it's 14/4 lens, but that one sucks in heavy front light which a Zeiss just don't. And it's very easily underestimated by others, sometimes I had the impression when I asked for permission to take pictures in an exhibition, the person just was quickly looking at and thinking "what kind of reproductions could this thing do? no problem...".
Together with a 35/2 or the 56/1.2 is very often the only lens I take with me on a walk or on a cycle trip.
