They're from the back of a mirror lens I believe. But the difference between E39 and 39mm camera thread is obviously different, the E39 is x0.5mm pitch whereas the camera is 39mm x 26tpi (threads per inch) Jem - -----Original Message----- From: Mark Rabiner [SMTP:mrabiner@concentric.net] Sent: 06 February 2000 22:28 To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: Re: [Leica] 39mm vs E39 Filter Threads?

I believe the threads are reversed. So there is no normal threads I have to make sure a 24 E thread for my Rollei 35 is just right because there are all kinds of threads in that size as well.
