A digital CL would be sweet.
How great would that be?
I'd take either an EVF version, or better yet, an RF with a X100T-esque picture in picture MF assist, which would allow you to confirm focus and which would be movable, allowing focusing on points other than the center. Best if both worlds.

Anyone have thoughts on the best spot for me to get my Canon 35/1.5 LTM serviced? It suffered a short fall and now my aperture ring is pretty difficult to move...
Speaking of CL's and 40mm Summicron-C's, I'' going to go look at one to purchase today (albeit with a broken meter, i mostly just want the lens for adapting purposes).

You are from Washington State?
In Seattle you have either Camera Techs in Ballard or Phototronics on Dexter Ave...

Had one with a stiff helicoid a while back. I think it has a so-so rep due to its focusing, if you nail it, it's pretty nice but it's easy to miss, and just a hair off looks pretty bad.

Picked up a Nikkor 300/4.5 H. Haven't tested it much yet, but it looks good, better than expected.

Not that I need it but I have a nice looking zebra striped Pentacon 135/2.8 on its way. This is an old school heavy lens made in the GDR in the 60s, aka, "The Bokeh Monster".

Looking forward to testing it out...
You'll enjoy it I'm sure. The one I bought will not achieve infinity focus but that was modified by the seller so I don't think it's a common issue. Here's a photo I took with mine on my K-1 (not great in that I didn't get the bird's eye(s) in focus). I was attracting to the Pentacon after seeing an outstanding street portrait taken with it in the Sony Images thread (can't find it now):
