Other than that, they are fine optical performers and take a good picture. I especially like the handy-dandy leather cases with the auxiliary VF tucked into the top of the case, a feature later used by Nikon. (Well, Zeiss Ikon pioneered the idea before the War, but they used the top of the case to hold the lens hood.) The 1.5/7.5cm CZJ Biotar T is my favorite: it is a nice lens, and only three are known to exist in LTM, so its rarity makes it a fun lens to use.
