Letana Anastigmat 50mm f3.5 was intended for the Leotax Leica-style rangefinder camera developed by Showa Kōgaku Seiki K.K. and was produced at about the same time as the Canon J-II. This uniqueLetana Anastigmat was modified to Canon J mount, made it extremely rare because most Canon J-II models sold sold with Nikkor 5cm f3.5 lens
