WTB:Wanted! pre 1943 CZJ f1.5/50 Sonnar or Sonnar T in LTM mount

[LeicaTom]

Wanted:

Pre 1943 CZJ f1.5/50 Sonnar or Sonnar T in LTM mount to pair up with one of my beautiful Leica IIIC K Grey Paint cameras.

I`m NOT a collector, I`m a shooter and I work everyday with vintage cameras shooting my well known retro pinup girl styles.

Hope to find a lens that`s original (no postwar) Russian issues "uncoated" or "coated T" lens so I can do some extensive tests and shoots, while working on my Leica IIIC K`s ~ also comparing these original Sonnar`s to their later 1950`s copies ala Nikkor SC and Canon f1.5/50.

Any help in acquiring a reasonably priced example would be greatly appreciated - Thank You!

Please write me at Winkermeister@aol.com :)

Finally!!!

I found a #272xxxx lens that`s on Thieles list from a group on lenses delivered to the German Army on the 29th January 1943 ~ one of 3,000 lenses in that batch produced in LTM.

Brian will be doing his "magic" on this soon, I Hope *crosses fingers* that it ends up shooting really well, only time will tell, it`s going to end up on one of my US Army Leica IIIC K Grey`s, which should be a perfect shooting combo :D
