What vintage lenses do you use on your mirrorless cameras?
I use the Vivitar 24mm f2 in Pentax M42 mount - an INCREDIBLE lens ! .......
.
Schneider-Kreuznach 90mm f/6.8, 150mm f/5.6, 210mm f/5.6,
Nikkor120mm f/8, 300mm f/5.6
Edit: (I forgot a couple)
Zeiss Elmar 50mm f/3.5
Jupiter-8 50mm f/2, Jupiter-12 35mm f/2.8

The first batch looks suspiciously like large format lenses. Well, I suppose a view camera is mirrorless.
Minolta Rokkor 28, 50, 58, 100, 200 and 300mm, from f1.2 to f4.5. A couple macros and a minolta macro bellows with minolta mc/md tubes.
You're correct. They are. The last time I looked, just a few days ago, my 4x5 did not have a mirror.

I use Minolta too. I have the 250 mirror as well as others
More often than any other lens, when not using any of the (relatively spectacular) native Fuji lenses on my X-T3, I like to use a (late 1940's) 50mm collapsible Leica Summitar, sometimes with a 12mm extension tube, sometimes not. Beyond that, I've used a wide variety of Soviet era (Jupiters, Helios', etc.) lenses that range from 12mm to 200mm in LTM, M42, and Contax/Kiev mounts. Likewise, I've used even an even wider range of classic and modern Nikkors, too. But these days, I tend to stick with the native Fuji lenses since unlike any of the non-native manual lenses they allow me to focus bracket, which I do a lot.
Thanks for all your replies. I’ll have more lenses to add to my GAS
None, do not have a mirrorless and do not plan to buy one in the foreseeable future.

Those who don't want a mirrorless camera don't want to succeed.
"Do not have a mirrorless and do not plan to buy one in the foreseeable future." Actually there is not much "foreseeable" future for a dSLR camera. Practically all camera companies are more into mirrorless bodies.
There is no dSLR with more built-in technologies than a mirrorless. None of them shoot faster and except for some old Pentax cameras most mirrorless bodies have IBIS (in body image stabilization) which is a godsend when a tripod cannot be used. If you have never traveled with a mirrorless camera and lenses then you do not know what traveling light is. I bet that with your present gear you could be tired at the end of the day while in a shootout. That is rarely the case with mirrorless.
Lots of professionals are using mirrorless cameras and right now the market reflects how well those cameras are selling. In my case I was immediately sold on the small size of them and most lenses sold by Olympus and Panasonic and today I find myself using more my mirrorless bodies than my dSLR cameras. I do not know your reasoning for your statement and I understand that mirrorless are not for everyone but something I can tell you, the future of photography belongs to mirrorless.
