Tiny Voigtlander 35mm f3.5 Aspheric

Yep, I was trying to test the Canon 85/2 on my CLE and was seeing weird rf alignment issues with the Fotodiox and K&F concepts 28/90 adapters. Went and tried random 50/75 adapter that came with a Canon 135mm I bought on ebay and saw how the cam was on the lens and how it focused correctly.

I ended up buying a Light Lens Lab LTM to M adapter and it fixed my issues.

Really like these, especially the first one. This lens can make it feel like the viewer is immersed in the scene.

Shooting wide open (f3.5) at a distance to the subject of 1 meter. This lens is amazing me.

It's a suped-up Summaron. Aspherical optics and modern glass.

I can understand using M-Mount: the lens used an Indexed Cam and M-Mount locks into place. With Screw-Mount lenses, you can be slightly-off and the index cam will have a large error. For older lenses, not quite as sharp wide-open: not a big deal.

The price is good- but, I have two very sharp and tiny Nikkor 3.5cm F3.5's in LTM, and the Minolta 3.5cm F3.5 in LTM.
I just picked up the Nikkor 3.5cm f3.5 in Contax mount. The reviews seem mixed, but I’m encouraged by the classic love for the Elmar Tessar wide angle design.
