Subject: Re: Collapsible Summicron 50 (M3 D/S)

Speaking of 50mm lenses: anyone ever hear of a Zeiss 50/2.8 Tessar in
LTM?  I like Tessars in general, but was wondering whether this was a
rigid or a collapsible lens, whether it had a good reputation, etc.
When I saw mention of one, I thought I'd go down to K&S and buy myself
a copy of the LTM book by the noted Marc James Small, but they don't
have it at Keeble & Schuchat.  I then thought I would buy it from
www.barnesandnoble.com, but they don't even list "The Zeiss
Compendium".  So I tried www.amazon.com, who have a book by M. Small
called "Cognitive Development," but I do not believe that this is the
same Marc Small.

So, Marc, what do you think of that Zeiss Tessar lens, and where can I
buy your book on LTM lenses?
