If you want Zeiss lenses then you can pay a machinist a large some of money to adapt the G lenses and probably scale focus, find Jena screw mount lenses designed for the Contax RF but built for LTM in the 50's to adapt to the fair trade laws, or deal with the good optical but extremely variable mounts of the Russian lenses that are Zeiss lenses built by Ukrainians mostly. Also a good choice in the 85, 100-105, and 135 would be the Canon or Nikon lenses produced in the 50's and 60's for LTM. To fit on the M you just acquire a LTM to M adapter which are readily available used in the 30-90 dollar range or Stephan Gandy sells a nice non-leica set of three for around $100. For modern coatings and design the Cosina/Voigtlander lenses in 75 and 90 are also good choices.
