Exceptional lens.

Exceptional lens.

indeed! i enjoy it very much on my nikonos iii but am thinking it might be even better on my M2 with the added functionality of <1/30s shutter speed and rangefinder focusing. I love using it on the nikonos scale focus, the depth of focus guide is genius. but obviously not ideal for wide open/low light situations.

Hi.
What are the attributes of this LTM that makes it so desirable over others?

I'm not sure if it's desirable over all others or not. after all, it's ultimately up to personal needs/desires. in my case, i chose it because of is small size, great build quality, and excellent rendering/resolution. the price doesn't hurt either. allegedly the same 6e/4g design as the Leica Summaron 35/2.8, which goes for 3x as much.

Thanks. I seem to of bought an old Canon LTM (beer and ebay should be avoided) and am just weighing up my options for 35mm focal, in case something affordable pops up, also have an old Contax mount RF.
