Joe L. -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+jcyleung8=shaw.ca@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+jcyleung8=shaw.ca@leica-users.org]On Behalf Of Rob McClure Sent: Monday, June 12, 2006 7:36 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Question on LTM convertor After disposing of my Summicron M 50 several years ago, I have acquired a couple of Russian 50's (Elmar clone and Jupiter 8). For my purposes they work ok, but I have been using the only LTM adaptors I own which are designed for 35/135 lenses. Consequently the 50mm window doesn't come up on my M4-2 unless I bring it up manually with the lever. Is it possible to convert one of my two 35 LTM convertors to bring up the 50mm? Or is there a source of inexpensive adaptors? Steven Gandy's $55 convertors cost nearly as much as my Russian lenses and those on E**y are also expensive. As an alternative I would be willing to trade one of the Leica 35 convertors for a 50. Regards, Rob McClure _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
