That'd be interesting. I note that someone else has mentioned Konica and Ricoh as makers of M-compatible lenses; anyone know how to get ahold of these, how good they are, and what the prices might be? Could these be the no-name lenses currently being sold by Adorama? On an unrelated note, can anyone advise me regarding the use of a new 50 Elmar as an enlarging lens? And about using a 90 tele for 6x4.5 and 6x6 enlargements? I'm currently inclined to divest myself of M gear for awhile (seduced again by those lower-cost 6x4.5 rangefinders!), but if I could keep the lens(es) in use, that would be great.
