Mike,

I've always used an LTM on my CL for the 90 range. (At first an old Elmar 
9cm/4 and but also a Jupiter 85/2 -at 4 or smaller-) I've never had any 
problems with either of the 90mm LTM to M adapters that I have. I have a 
leitz adapter that came with the Elmar and an after market brand that I got 
from Stephen Gandy. Both work fine on either LTM lens for me.

Carpe Luminem,
