Hi Paul ...
Agreed about the pre-M Leicas being nice. They'll take modern screw mount
lenses as well, such as those made by C/V. I prefer the M-bodied Leicas
when it comes to fitting lenses, for they can use the earlier screw mount
lenses from many sources as well as the newer glass. BTW, I just picked up
a pre-1934 Elmar and am waiting for an adapter so i can put it to good use
;-)) Also grabbed a $6.00 Russian 55/2.8 in screw mount as well. There
are plenty of $10.00 lenses for the LTM all over eBay.
Good samples of the Elmar 3.5 are no longer "inexpensive." While looking
for mine I found prices to be in the $150.00 - $450.00 range. Rarely saw
anything worthwhile for less, although I lucked out and got mine for $70.00.

I need to luck out and find a fair price on a 21mm Biogon f/4.5, for my
new Contax IIIa CD!
Either that or sell my car first!
