Be aware however, as has been said here many times there is chance that the
lens will not couple accurately with your rangefinder.  If you are to buy on
of the c lenses for you m camera make sure you get a return privilege with the
purchase.  Buy the lens test it and if everything is sharp and contrasty keep
it if not return it and try another.
