Believe it or not, Fuji made a fairly good 35/2.0 lens in LTM back in the
50's.  They are not common now but are reasonable performers and not
terribly expensive (if you can find one).  I paid about $100.00 for one 7 or
8 years ago with good glass but peeling chrome. It has the oddest coating
I've seen.  It has a strong yellow/orange reflection but no obvious color
cast when viewed through the lens.
