Mine <g> Seriously, I'm interested in finding a combination of film, lenses, and developer on the camera side, and a paper and developer on the darkroom side, that will provide a certain softness, granularity, and detail that can be found in the work of various photographers. This has been on my mind for a while, actually. If you recall, I mentioned that I was going to try Bergger 200 as it was reported that it had that "look" to it, and I've also played around a little with the Fortepan emulsions.
The Leica Summarit seems to be a good lens for this project - good detail, softish contrast, a bit of flare if one's not careful ... but there's also some early Pentax lenses that might work as well. I'm basing this only on photographs I've seen reproduced, not on anything I've done. My oldest Pentax lens is mid-sixties, and of the Super Tak variety. Unfortunately, it's quite sharp, and has been confused with relatively current Leica glass <ROTF,LMAO>.
