is a chrome collapsible thingy I've seen recently. Anybody have one or able to post images produced w/ one? I'm very curious about this lens. Is it less known than the 35mm UC LTM.

Another limited production Konica lens. I have only seen pictures of it on a Japanese collector's web site that is no longer available. If you live in Japan you may be able to buy one but I don't think they are available here in the US.

Thanks Peter. I've seen one for sale. But w/ no images or reviews available, I wouldn't buy one.

I know how you feel mate. I've covetted this lens for a while now along with the 60 1.2 LTM. I've somehow convinced myself that life won't be complete until I own them. Maybe the next big contract I win that's paying cash???Krosya said:

Jeff Smith may own more 50mm lenses than FrankS, if you can imagine such a thing.
