Subject: RE: [Leica] Yasuhara Leica Clone

Mark,
The Yasuhara is not plastic, but its certainly not substantial as the 
Leicas are.
If you wish to put a Holga lens onto a Leica that can be done but focusing 
will be a problem. I found that I can mount a 25mm plastic lens from a 
Kodak disposable camera very easily into an M body cap, it gives hyperfocal 
focus with an f12 lens, very useful!
Full instructions on request!

best regards,
Jem

All this plastic! The world seems to think we Leicanuts want a Holga to put 
our
ASPH's on.
I'd rather put the Holga plastic lens on my Leica! But I'll settle for a 
screw
mount adaptor to put on an old uncoated whale oiled Leica lens... Should 
have
all the extra flavour anyone would want... All the overtones... All the 
noise.
