The Voigtlander Nokton was made in quite a small batch in both LTM and Contax RF mount: the LTM versions normally sell for around $US 1,000 or more. The Ultron was also made in LTM, but is much, much rarer. The 2/47 Ektar was the normal lens on the US Kardon LTM camera. The 35mm Minor was a nice f/3.5 design, while the rare f/4.5 Old Delft lens is reputedly a clone of the prewar Leitz snapshot lens of the same specification. Mikiro, you DO need a copy of my LTM lens book! Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh bas fir gun ghras fir!
