A few years ago I bought from them, via eBay, an adapter for the Voigtlander 
Prominent (not C/V) 
50/1.5 Nokton-to-LTM. While not cheap ($300), it serves the purpose, though 
when focusing the lens 
rotates.

The Nokton is a fine glass, and after Zeiss Ikon acquired Voigtlander, it is 
rumored that the Nokton 
might have replaced the famed Sonnar, had ZI continued the Contax. As it 
turned out, ZI got out of 
the camera body business altogether. Noktons do exist in LTM, but they are 
uncommon.
