You will have more precision if you acquire an LTM to E directly. I have bought some from Amazon quite inexpensively as well as from KEH when they have them in stock. But I started LTM-M then M-E and I found others I switched over. With multiple adapters assume a non flat field as you can expect tolerance stacking not in your favor. Have fun though, the 85 and 135 are very, very good and 1.5 Sonnar are good but a little quirky.
