[Leica] 35mm Non Leica LTM Lens Recomendations?

[langeratcarleton at gmail.com (Mark Langer)]

This, I believe, is one of the lenses made for later Leotax cameras. 
I thought that these were rare items and am surprised that you got one
for so little.  The Tokyo Optical Company lenses (marked Topcon on
later Leotaxes) are also good lenses.  I have one of their 50mm f1.5
Simlar lenses, which is beautifully made, heavy and a decent performer
for its time.
