On the assumption that you wished to swap the LTM Lenses you have from an M
body to a LTM body...and back again

 

I was wondering Steve if you realized the great degree of difficulty it is
to remove  a properly seated LTM-M ring from a lens?

It is on really tight.. And switching back and forth might be a major
problem...

 

For the price of a CLA'd 3g, you could get a M4-2 or early M6 that would
accept your M mounted lenses, and allow you to use film...

Or a MD type body if it was your intention to use external VF anyway...

 

I also feel that once you get away from the 2 eyepieces ( VF and RF) you
NEVER want to go back..

 

If it is a nostalgia thing.. Have fun.. but if you really want to use your
lenses on a film, and the lenses are already mounted on a adapter, I think
your expectations might not be met..
