Surprisingly, I had never come across any Steinheil lenses so far, even when visiting photography fairs.

I have their 85mm LTM and Exacta lenses. The two lenses I have appear to be of aluminum construction, to less precise standards than Leica lenses, but produce credible images. I seem to recall hearing of the 35mm lens many years ago, but have never seen one. I swapped a 135 to another LUGGER fifteen years ago. This image was made using the Steinheil 85 LTM on my Fuji X-T2 a few weeks ago. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/20190305-DSCF0825.JPG.html Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA On 3/19/2019 1:39 PM, Jean-Michel Mertz via LUG wrote: > I've come across a Steinheil orthostigmat 35, f4.5 - 39 LTM.
