Subject: [Leica] Anyone Else Interested in a Zeiss 50/1.4 Lens in (Leica)Screw Mount?

Greg, being an SLR lens, this design in the various mounts is not adaptable 
to an RF, I would think. FWIW, I've read some near
vehement opinions on the bokeh from this one in the original Contax/Yashica 
mount. I'm pretty sure that other LTM owners might
disown you if you were able to fit one to a IIIF.
Having said all of that, aren't Zeiss being really active in producing new 
options on the M mount. That's good for everyone, I
think.
Cheers
Hoppy

Zeiss seems to be expanding their lens line beyond Nikon and Leica camera 
compatability.

see: https://photo-shop.zeiss.com/Products/1405-175

I know that this is **NOT a LTM lens**, but I sure wish that they would make 
one.

Anyone else like one of these in LTM for their IIIF?
