Or Universal screw mount. Should cost you about $10 on FleaBay. Wrong, $5 (Sony). I looked it up. Fuji is $8 About the same as 1% of the TAX on a Leica body.

I have an M42 bellows, and also a set of extension tubes, but I don't recall trying the 135 on there. That's something else to but on the bucket list. is there an adapter so this lens can be used on a Fuji X or Sony A7 ? steve > > Jim Nichols > Tullahoma, TN USA > > On 9/1/2015 10:46 AM, Aram Langhans wrote: >> Douglas.
