I sold that 50/1.9 Switar to Tom who got the adapter from Japan.

I didn't, Frank. As you doubtless know, the flange to film distance of all
35mm Alpa's was the thinnest of any 35mm SLR; which is why one could fit
over a thousand lenses of other manufacturers to all Alpa cameras, with one
of the various adapters that Pignons, S.A. offered. There is a Leitz-to-Alpa
adapter but it is for longer, short-mount Leica lenses where the back focus
issue doesn't exist. As you may also know, there are adapters to fit the
50mm Macro-Switar to Leica M cameras; our friend Tom Abrahamsson has used
one on one of his M2's and if I recall, one can see a photo of this lash-up
on Steve Gandy's Cameraquest site.
