Unfortunately, Cosina is selling the Heliar as a part of the anniversary
kit. There is some speculation that it will be offered in a second run.
That would probably anger collectors, but this should be a user lens,
not a collectable. Yes, it is LTM.

Is the new Heliar available in threadmount?

A new 50mm collapsable in threadmount seems hard to find. Even if the
Heliar is threadmount I understand you have to buy a body to get the
lens.

Leica should look at producing the Anastigmat on the O in threamount.
Given the modern lenses they produced in threadmount didn't sellout all
that well I suspect Leica has said never again.
