Hi,
I recently stubled upon this lens in vintage camera store. A bit expensive but I already have Biotar 75mm 1.5 in M42 and I love it. This one seems older (in cm insted of mm).
Does anyone have experience with that lens?

I believe that the 75mm 1.5 Biotar in LTM is a very rare lens.In the book "Non-Leitz Leica thread -mount Lenses" by Marc James Small (published by Wittig Books in 1997) it states that there were only two known examples of this lens in Leica Thread Mount.

Exciting lens, make absolutely sure it's LTM and not the Zenith M39 SLR mount. I've found a source online that says they were also made in that mount. The LTM lens should have a longer barrel than your M42 one, and RF coupling of course.
