I recently began collecting some vintage lenses within the last year. I can upload examples if anyone wants.
Starting with the 50/1.4 Super-Takumar (8 element version) - known for flaring like hell when wide open but cleans up after stopping down while still retaining character. Pretty solid all around.
Then I obtained a 105/2.5 Nikkor (AI version) - this was the one used for the famous Afghan girl portrait. Great lens, and I regret passing it off when I was consolidating my collection because it seemed redundant at the time. Oops.
I also bought a Helios 44m-4 for that sweet meme swirl. I still need to try it out some more.
My most recent purchases are from the Contax/Yashica line from Zeiss. So far I have the 28/2.8 MM, the 50/1.4 MM, the 85/1.4 MM, and the 135/2.8 AE. I'm really digging this set in particular.
Pic related is the Contax 50/1.4.
