Steinheil made a succession of good to really good lenses in LTM.  The
2.8/85 Culminar is a solid performer, on par with Schacht, but certainly
not up to Zeiss or Nikon/Canon standards.  Reasonably good saturation and
illumination, good resolution and contrast, all at several stops down.  At
f/4, you'd be better off with an Elmar.
