This is a collector's gem -- only around 500 of these were made in LTM, as against six or seven thousand in M mount. It would date from the late 1950's or early 1960's. If the price is right, I'd suggest you scarf it up, sell it to a collector, and buy an ASPH, and you'll probably have some change left over for some good Ilford film and some single-malt as well.
