Just use it and have some fun! Len -- -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+ljkapner=cox.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+ljkapner=cox.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Leo Christoffer Sent: Thursday, April 15, 2004 12:26 PM To: lug@leica-users.org Subject: [Leica] Sun 135mm LTM lens I got a silver Sun 135mm F3.5 Telephoto with the serial #536**, in good shape with a little dust in the lens. I tried the lens and liked the results. My question has anyone any knowledge about the Sun lens and the quality of it in the LTM format? Before I give it a serious test and maybe have it cleaned I would like to know what kind of quality I might expect. It was a good buy and I'm not sure if I got a good deal or paid what it was worth, $25. I really got it as a inexpensive way to test a 135mm on the rangefinder camera. I can see I might use it some maybe 5% of my shooting time. How would this 135mm Sun compare to a Russian Jupiter 135mm or a low end Leica 135? Are we talking quality lens or junk.
