The Russians still produce a Zeiss Topogon clone, the 5.6/20 Russar MR-2, which can be had for under $500 and, sometimes, for a LOT less (I paid $100 for mine, with VF). The Russian lens is far slower, but doesn't suffer from flare nearly to the Canon's degree. And it DOES meter with the M6, which I believe the Canon does not.
