Well, well, now mine is a camera strap like your... It was converted into a camera strap by a Mechelaar (origin of the breed not too far from where you are) who decided to cut it just in the middle so I would have a camera strap matching his nice leashes...

Canon 1.4/50mm can be had for acceptable prices and IIRC there are at least 2 in the classifieds at this moment, if they haven't sold already.
Summicrons in LTM or even (gasp) Summiluxes in LTM can be had, even recent ones that were made in limited editions for the Japanese market, but at a collectors' price, yikes.
I recently decided on this beaty and received it today, a few are still available at CameraQuest:
Voigtlander Heliar 2.0/50mm in LTM, rigid nickel. Mounted on my beloved Leica II from 1932.

My most modern LTM lenses are the two classic Heliar 50/2 and 50/3.5. I bought them to complement my older LTM 50mm lenses.

Bruno,
the Summicron in LTM would be about the same size I think, the Heliar 2.0/50mm is a 39mm filter size as well. The Heliar might be a bit shorter, not certain there.
The Summilux definitely is bigger.
In the past a I shot a Color-Skopar 2.5/50mm which is the size (and design!) of the Summicron 35mm (!) lens, that lens was small, made from brass, and RAZOR sharp. I expect this Heliar to be at least as good as the Color-Skopar, since magazine tests proved it to be the 'sharpest lens ever tested'.
The Heliar is made from brass too, at least my new rigid nickel one is, not sure about the collapsible models.
