I use a Canon LTM 35mm f1.5 with an LTM to M adapter for my M Leicas.  Some
people are critical of this lens at f1.5 while some such as myself have
appreciated its speed and find the quality acceptable in darkness.  I have
used it for indoor pictures indoors in German churches at f1.5 with good
results.

Stopped down in daylight it is good.
