What about a late model (black mt.) Schacht Travenar? Mine is a 
decent performer and MJS praises them in his book. FWIW the lens head 
comes off and fits directly on a Viso II or III, fo (I use a Novoflex 
Reflex housing--similar to a Viso I, so this doesn't do me much good).

IIRC I paid all of $60 for mine on the unmentionable auction site. I 
also have a Jupiter 11 for my Kiev 4a and it is a wonderful lens, but 
there appear to be  serious doubts about Soviet LTM lenses coupling 
properly on real Leicas, as opposed to Feds , Zorkis, etc.
