If you have not yet bought a lens, get the APO Rodagon-N  ( NOT the D ) or
the APO Componon HM.  For Leica negs, 50mm is good.  Price is about $275,
used.  For $100-150 the APO Rodagon or Componon-S is really good.....  No
use to try to economize more, as these lenses, at $100-150  are top
notch.....  A good match to your Leica glass in quality.

The older lenses have a wider degree of variablility on the quality.  Some
may be excellent, some less than good.  You are best off sticking to a newly
made lens, used.
