     Hi Tom,
     
      Not too long ago, I got one as part of the Canon rangefinder deal 
     with Komura 2X multiplier and 2X finder.  I was asking the same 
     question before I completed the deal as you are now, with no valuable 
     answer.  I went ahead and test the lens myself.  Genereally, it was 
     considered a dog.  It was pretty good to me though.  Maybe I really 
     underrated it before I tested it because I just heard a lot of 
     negative things.  So it depends on how much you are paying for it.  I 
     noticed that Woodmere camera has one for a little over $300.00.  I 
     hope this helps at all.
     
     Regards,
     David

Does anyone know anything about a Steinheil Munchen Culminar f2.8 
85mm that fits a LTM.  I have found one quite inexpensive but 
I know nothing about them.  Lens is chrome and in ex shape, glass 
shows no marks or anything else wrong..I have an Imarect that has
 the 85 detent so was thinking of picking this up.  Any suggestions ?
Tom
