There's an adapter that Canon made called the 'Lens Mount Converter B', this puts Canon (breechlock) lenses onto (Canon)/Leica screw mount bodies at the right distance for correct scale focusing. Add a screw to bayonet adapter and away you go. As for 'finders, I made one from a security door viewer. they come in dfferent angles of coverage. Check to see if you need 150 or 180 degrees, (etc.) and then mount onto an old / cheap / broken accessory finder. If it's full frame you may wish to paint a black rectangle (ratio 2:3) on the front face, if its a circular image, then just leave it alone. Ain't life fun! Jem - -----Original Message----- From: Roland Smith [SMTP:roland@dnai.com] That's an intriguing thought. Can they do the same with my 12mm with a Canon FD mount? What do you do for a viewfinder?
