Sonny, I'll get in touch with them on that. Looks like they use a completely 
different casing when converting to Leica so cost may be unjustifiable. 
Really wanted to get feedback on using the lens with an adaptor for a 
digital camera.

Might be better to just sell as is and rebuy a newish Leitz 21mm. Have a 
21mm voigtlander with LTM which could probably go too!

Douglas
