If you like the result with this lens why does any other issue matter, as
long as you only intend to use it 5% of the time? Just use it and have some
fun!

Subject: [Leica] Sun 135mm LTM lens

I got a silver Sun 135mm F3.5 Telephoto with the serial #536**, in good
shape with a little dust in the lens.  I tried the lens  and liked the
results.  My question has anyone any knowledge about the Sun lens and the
quality of it in the LTM format?

Before I give it a serious test and maybe have it cleaned I would like to
know what kind of quality I might expect.  It was a good buy and I'm not
sure if I got a good deal or paid what it was worth, $25.  I really got it
as a inexpensive way to test a 135mm on the rangefinder camera.  I can see I
might use it some maybe 5% of my shooting time.


How would this 135mm Sun compare to a Russian Jupiter 135mm or a low end
Leica 135?  Are we talking quality lens or junk.

Thanks
