This is probably a Prewar lens. It should fit well on an early FED body but will give you fits on a true LTM camera body. I once had a 6.3/10cnm FED clone of the Berg-Elmar. I stupidly sold it after I had tested it, not recognizaing just how rare an itme this was. Next time I score a lens like this, I'll allow Stan Tamarkin to dispose of it for me!
