Got both of mine from two different LUGgers and so felt fairly safe in the acquisition. I'm happy with both. As I just mentioned in another post...they have none of the finish and feel of a Leica or new lens but the image qualities that they do offer are a fair compromise for the costs savings right now. >Did Canon make a good 90 in LTM? I have a Canon Black 135 LTM and it doesn't focus at infinity on my M5 or CL (though all other distances are ok)....I can't speak to the Canon 85/90 range as I've never seen one to use. As I like the old LTM's for their flexibility, I plan to get Marc James Small's book on Non-Lietz lenses to be more informed. Anything in the Archives about the Canon lenses?
