what lenses do you own that goes beyond f64?

My minolta IVf is a very nice meter, it can dance a little but the bells 
and whistles don't get in the way of straight metering.  Gives both analog 
and digital readouts

The meter I was trying to find was my old Luna Pro.  I'm pretty sure it 
will go down that far as well as meter for hours instead of just seconds.  
That's when it hit me, I haven't seen a lens scaled beyond f90.   There 
are old lenses out there with scales up to 256, but that's a Unified 
System scale not an f-stop scale and US256 re-calculates to f90.
