Neal, you are getting very nice results from your Soviet cameras and lenses. 
Do you have a favorite seller on eBay that sends gear not requiring a full 
strip-down and CLA to be useful?
Most of the Soviet LTM stuff I have had to be adjusted and or repaired, and 
can only use some of my Leica glass because of the different rangefinder cam 
follower design.

Regards, Paul Connet

Contax. Cost was $45 plus $15 shipping from the Ukraine. Boy this is a keeper and 
you can find them in LTM as well as Contax 
Mount. Here take a look;

Very good resolution and good contrast.
