29 from Nikon, 16 from Canon, and 24 from Leica (not that I can afford anything they currently offer). These counts are from the manufacturer's web sites. From Cameraquest, VC has 8 SLR lenses, some of which are available in KA mount, and at least 16 for Leica (some are not available for both mounts).
