How about mounting Konica lenses on M-cameras? The 28-50-90 mm lenses got
excellent reviews in the current Swedish "Foto". In short, they stated: -As
good as Leica lenses.
I think the 28 mm would be an interesting alternative for Leica users, btw
the lens shade looks very much like the 12504 type. The cost is almost twice
the Cosina-Voiglander prices though (but still less than 1/2 Leica price...)
