You're right, everything that's German, old and hard to find is not necessarily outstanding! The copy I had a look at is mint and the price seems fair. I'll have a second look at it. JM I'm currently using an Edixa mat reflex with a Zeiss Jena Biotar. Heavy set!

They're all middle priced, serviceable lenses, I haven't shot them in years, though the ones for the Edixa, I tried on my Sony camera. It was OK I think you can find better LTM lenses at that price. They are good lenses but not spectacular. Just because it is old, German or hard to find doesn't make it rare. I'd guess that the VF that comes with it, just gives you a 35mm view.
