Jean-Michel,

Steinheil made after-market lenses for LTM Leica bodies, as well as some 
others.? I have their 85mm LTM and Exacta lenses.? The two lenses I have 
appear to be of aluminum construction, to less precise standards than 
Leica lenses, but produce credible images. I seem to recall hearing of 
the 35mm lens many years ago, but have never seen one.? I swapped a 135 
to another LUGGER fifteen years ago.

This image was made using the Steinheil 85 LTM on my Fuji X-T2 a few 
weeks ago.
