The Zeiss 180 is pretty famous for outstanding image quality, and IIRC the lens was originally designed for the 1936 Olympics, so it's been around for a while.
It's also one I would love to get my hands on even though it's so completely impractical due to its huge weight and size!
You can also find oddball newer lenses like a number of Russian-made ones and some wacky old preset lenses with a huge number of aperture blades. There's just an amazing variety of stuff. The one thing you usually won't find a lot of wide-angle lenses; I think they were more difficult to make so they weren't as common. You will find countless 28/35mm, 50mm, and 135mm lenses though!
