New 35mm Summicron in Screw Mount - For Real?

[jon koss]

I was trolling eBay and came across this 35mm Summicron ASPH in screw mount. I could not really find anything on it elsewhere. Just curious if that price is for real or if it is a fishing expedition.

The lens is for real; don't know about the price or the auction. A few years ago, this lens, along with the current 50mm Summicron and 50mm non-ASPH Summilux, were made available in screw mount in a small batch. See http://www.cameraquest.com/ltmlens.htm for a brief description.
