I had a black 20mmRussar that would not screw into my Black leicaIII, BUT it would screw onto my zorki & various adapters. Then I got a chrome 20mmRussar that worked on everything....but it kept catching on the focusing arm inside my chrome zorki. Leica focusing wheels are round but the zorki's was pointed & kept catching a recess in the lens. - -Bern
