Up for sale is a really nice Canon 28mm f/2.8 lens in LTM. The Canon 28/2.8 was, if I'm not mistaken, the fastest 28mm of the classic rangefinder period, made famous through its use by street photographer Garry Winogrand. It has the characteristic solid build quality of the best Canon RF lenses, and it has fine ergonomics despites its compact size.
Asking US $435, including PayPal and insured USPS shipping within continental USA (other destinations additional, at cost).
This example is in beautiful condition, having been completely overhauled by DAG in 2009:
The lens comes with the proper Canon caps (plastic front, metal rear) and original leather case.
(Please forgive the quirky picture quality here: I was playing around with my LTM Nikkor-Q.C 50/3.5 on the M240, close-focused to 18 inches using live view -- probably shouldn't have hand-held....)
