I WANT THESE NUMBERS!!!!! Almost ALL known LTM CZJ lenses are coated Wartime examples. Prewar ones are rare as hen's teeth. I know of ONE such example and that is a lens originally sold in China and know in, I recall, Hong Kong. I have never seen a Prewar uncoated CZJ LTM lens. PLEASE SEND MORE INFORMATION!!!!! As to the Voigtlander Nokton, the last one I bought I got for $450 and sold for $750. $2500 is absurd. It IS a great user lens.
