One of these recent trades saw my acquisition of an Amedeo adapter for Nikon S to Leica M. I didn't expect to still have a 35mm lens after saying goodbye to my Summilux but I found a Contax mount Jupiter-12 for almost free. So, the lens arrived yesterday and when on the Amedeo adapter, the collar that is spring-loaded and drives the adapter helical touches the Leica cam-follower from about 10m to close focus. I took that apart and filed it down just enough to clear the cam follower and now the focus is great. I'm really surprised that I've been a Leica shooter for this long but have never owned one of these fantastic lenses. I'm looking forward to shooting it more! Here's a shot outside of Jay Maisel's studio/bank vault on Bowery http://gallery.leica-users.org/d/312899-2/L1008453_E.jpg Thanks all.
