Tell me about the Super Rokkor 50mm 1.8 LTM

[dyao]

There's one on ebay right now (320739072433). I've searched RFF and found nothing. Nobody has used this lens before?

The Super Rokkor 50/1.8 is a fantastic lens, even better than its f2.0 predecessor; there was no better 50mm f1.8-2.0 made at the time (in my opinion, anyway). As already mentioned, it is very hard to find in Leica screw mount; many more were made for the Minolta Super-A.

The lens is not discussed much on this forum, probably because so few have it. Here are a few posts in which it's discussed briefly:
