Perhaps an even better choice would be a Soviet/Post-Soviet 2.8/35
Jupiter-12, a clone of the Prewar CZJ Biogon.  This is a stunningly fine
lens and is relatively inexpensive;  one, with VF, can be had for $125 or
so.  And the later ones are multi-coated, unlike none of the Nikon, Canon,
or Leica LTM lenses.
