They do - in LTM. In Prominent bayonette, not quite so much as this auction shows.

I paid $75 for a Prominent with the Nokton and a Skoparon in very clean condition. The camera required a $60 adjusment.

Yes, the much rarer LTM version is often seen in the $2K range, as can be seen in this auction & this 1, too. Sometimes, a buyer can get lucky, as you can see from the end of this thread:

I'm guessing that the super-rare Contax RF mount version would go for even more . . .
It's a very nice lens in LTM, though it has a weird filter size & doesn't take the slip-on hoods/filters made for the Prominent mount version of the lens.
Stephen Gandy has a good article on the LTM version here:

I was fortunate to snag 1 for a good price, though it required a CLA & complete re-assembly by DAG (they're rare enough that he had never worked on 1 before).
