Subject: [Leica] Canon B adapter
From: "Roland Smith" <roland@dnai.com>

I just received a Canon B adapter to use the Canon bayonet lenses on LTM
camera mount.

My Canon FD lenses mount easily on my Leica bodies.  The only problem is
setting the f-stops.   The FD lenses are automatic stop down and when set at
an f-stop, the aperture does not change even though the setting of the
f-stop is done by moving the setting ring away from the A for automatic.

Does anyone know the solution?  Is it that I can only use FL lenses or even
these?

TIA
