[Leica] (sans objet)

OK. Here are my two Tele-Elmars and the odd threading I was talking about.

Note the caption; they should be self explanatory. The odd head has a 
thread that is very slightly smaller than that of the 135/4.5 Hektor 
or 135/4 Elmar; it's at about the right distance from the front of 
the lenshead to work, but it slips just inside the 16472K adapter 
that's intended for the Elmar and Hektor. It's a fine pitch thread, 
unlike the coarse thread on the regular Tele-Elmar. The barrel that's 
thicker for a longer stretch keeps the lenshead from fitting in the 
OTZFO. The OUAGO, normally intended for the 90/4 Elmar but slightly 
useable for the 135 Tele-Elmar and 65 Elmar, also is unusable for 
this old T-E.

I could look up the alternate and varying codes and numbers for the 
adapters, and measure the threads, but I've had a couple of glasses 
of wine and just don't feel like it right now. Reserva Duoro 2001 
V.N. Gaia. Better than adapters.
