The factory installed M mnt is removable on some & they are sometimes passed off as authentic to casual buyers. For picture taking purposes - even $1000 for the M mnt is too much as the lens is only fair by present standards, also the BL viewfinder is rare & sells for $400 & shade for about $250. If you must have a 21mm in LTM, try one of the Russian 20/5.6 which sells for $350 with viewfinder; some are fair & some are poor - so be sure to get exchange privileges. The lens comes only uncoupled but focused at 6 feet - everything from 3 feet to ~ is sharp. Marvin
