This is a dumb question, as I realize that the LTM lenses can be used
with an adaptor on an M-series body, but how do you use a bayonet lens
on an LTM body?
Asking because I have a IIIF BD and an M2, and most of my lenses are
LTM.
Thanks for any feedback.

I just mounted it on my IIIG. It actually appears to take up less of the
BL viewfinder on the IIIG than on the IIIF. With my VIDOOM external
finder set at 50mm I don't have any VF blockage with this lens. I have
and would use the 50mm Summilux on the IIIG without an external finder
w/o problem.

Regards,

Greg
