Well, there is that 3.5/15 Distagon for the Contax which has been known to
have appeared in drag in some wannabe mount as the "Super-Elmarit-R" or
somesuch.  I believe Ted Grant has had some nice things to say about this
lens.  And the 2.8/25 is no slouch, nor is the 1.4/35.

But Leitz/Leica have NEVER even had the slightest idea of attempting to
match the two Mirotars.  These magnificent optics are unparalleled --
though wannabe owners can get a large chunk of the performance at a
reasonable price in a SPS MTO, doing the appropriate T-Mount Quickstep.
