Well, you would benefit by IMMEDIATELY purchasing a copy of NON-LEITZ LEICA THREAD-MOUNT LENSES: A 39mm DIVERSITY, available for a few spare shekels from Petra Kellers at http://www.camerabooks.com/ and from other fine vendors everywhere, which covers a lot of these quirky LTM lenses. The 3.5/135 JSK Tele-Xenar was a product of the Postwar world, though some of the lenses themselves were Wartime NOS stock. This lens bears a date from FEB 57 and MAY 59. I do not know the number produced but it must have been made in some quantity, as these guys are not all that rare.
