The Wetzlar Camera Auction, which usually takes place every October is one of the biggest and most prestigious auctions of its kind for collectors and camera/lens nerds. Being that the auction takes place in Wetzlar, Germany, it’s tends to be very Leica focused. Though, you do see some unique items from Canon, Nikon and others.

I have the 85/1.5 LTM in much better condition than this. even all the boxes and red inserts are there.
Almost never shoot it anymore, because of its value and overlap with the 75/1.4 Lux (and the 28-70/2), but a few days ago I mounted on the R6 Mark II and it made some nice portraits.
Would have been nice to get a 35/1.5 LTM to compliment it, but it's too late now (35/2 LTM is still a good one).

Nice! I have always wanted to splurge on an SSC or the 85 LTM, but at their current market prices, I will just look at pictures of them.

Is the 85 like the 35? Basically the same optics as the Canon K35 cinema lenses?

I have a couple of the more affordable LTM Canon lenses. The 19mm is scary the first time you mount it, I have never seen a lens that protrudes as much.
