These are what happen when you put a Steinheil Cassarit 2.8/45 (M39 screw mount but not LTM) from a Braun Paxette on the front end of a DSLR. The lens was probably built around 1955 (when I was 3 years of age!). It seems to be doing quite well, although it's very prone to flare and lack of contrast in some lighting situations. Fitted directly to a Canon 20D with an M39 to EOS adapter.
