I am in no ways a gearfascist - I was, in fact, attempting to make fun of the contrast between all the gear fascism and the idea of using an adapter to put SLR lenses on Leica M bodies... So grab that CoCola bottle and shoot away... ;-) -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of SonC@aol.com Sent: Friday, November 19, 2004 3:23 PM To: lug@leica-users.org Subject: Re: [Leica] FS: RF Coupled SLR lens to Leica M Adapters In a message dated 11/19/2004 2:17:17 P.M.

Mea culpa, Peter OK, I did some looking, and Minolta made what you need to commit the crime Peter: Leica also made an adapter that can be useful to Minolta users, especially those that use the CL or CLE cameras. Called the Leitz Ring Nr. 22233, it allows you to place Minolta SLR lenses on Leica and Minolta M-mount cameras. Unlike the Leica to Minolta adapter, this adapter maintains the infinity focus.
