It is a pretty fair lens for its era but cannot hold a candle to the 1.5/5cm Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar or the later Zeiss-Opton or Carl Zeiss variant of that lens. Those wanting the absolute in optical quality for an LTM camera probably should pick up either a thread-mount Zeiss Jena Sonnar or its SPS clone, the Jupiter-3. The last is most attractive as it can generally be had for $100 or less.
