Subject: [Leica] basic older M lens question

Totally an opinion here, but I think the best solution
for an occasional-use 135 is to get an LTM to M
adaptor, and go to the auction site and look for an
old Canon Serenar. It'll be break-your-back heavy, but
wonderfully sharp, sturdy, and inexpensive. Check out
the old LTM Nikkors too. You can usually pick up a
nice one for US$80-90; or at least I did 2 years ago.
Check out Gandy's site in the screw-mount users lens
guide.
