Niels Thorsen sent me out a big envelope full of info. Since I didn't end up buying a 1c, I passed the info on to another LUGger who needed it. I seem to remember that the Elmar could be used, but with some sort of adjustment ring, which might be discontinued. It'd be best to call Leica for this, IMHO. Mary
