As Don said, no, but I did not realize that Ken was looking for LTM
lenses. But in that case, I would buy the CV 2.5/35mm Color Skopar for
$209 or the 1.7/35mm Ultron for $379 from Stephen Gandy. I am certain
that either of these will give better performance than the Summarons and
Elmars mentioned.
