I bought a new 50/2 LTM this year and it did not come with an adapter.
Perhaps it should have.  I was using a third-party adapter when I
noticed that the rangefinder did not quite match up at infinity.  The
adapter works fine with two of my Voigtlander lenses.  I brought it to
Leica in Northvale and they confirmed the lens worked fine with one of
their adapters.  

Sooner or later I will acquire an LTM body; I'll be interested to see
which lenses line up properly with the rangefinder on that body.  

Regards,

I got the info from a Leica employee. The newer rings differ from the
engraved letter font being a more modern style. Fortunately I could
seize the opportunity to buy all three lenses (as they are quite rare)
and all of them came with the appropriate adapter ring.
