I have owned Noktons in both LTM and Prominent mount and Ultrons in
Prominent only.  The Nokton is superb:  better by almost any optical
parameter to the Summarit and on par or better than the 1.5/5cm and 50mm
CZJ/ZO/CZ Sonnar.  Zeiss might have been intending on using the Nokton as a
normal lens on the Contax IV, had it been introduced:  in any event, the
two versuchs cameras which have survived both have Noktons in Contax RF BM.
