[Leica] Elmaron 60mm f/2.8 in a Helicoid Focusing mount?

[Shingoshi at comcast.net (Xavian-Anderson Macpherson)]

Thanks guys! It's just that with all of the posts I've seen in other 
forums about using lenses like these for macro work, I was wondering if 
it would work for me. Given how low the price is, I'm tempted to get the 
lens anyway. So what's the real thread size of the enlarging lenses from 
Leica? I thought everyone used the M39 as the mounting standard.

Additionally, you should know that I'm using this lens *on a digital 
CCTV camera with a 1/3" chip*. I think that combination will wind up 
only using the center of the lens' projected image. So if there was a 
concern about uniform sharpness or illumination across a 35mm frame, 
that doesn't apply here.

Thanks again,
