That fellow Arsenall (arse-&-all?) in Deutschland has 10 of these on e--y for BIN $299 a pop. This 
lens for the Voigtl. Prominent has a sterling rep, to the point that Z-I may have used it instead of 
the Z-I Sonnar on the stillborn Contax IV.

I have one of these Noktons. Is it (or not) worth 299 to put it on an M body, given that the 
Prominent body is so functionally inferior to an M, IMHO?

TIA,
