Re: [Leica] Rigid mount lens

Bud,

That is the way I have always understood it, as well. There is a
Summarit on eBay identified as a "rigid mount" and when I
inquired of the author of the auction he responded simply  "it is
a rigid mount."

I guess I figured he knew something I didn't know. Maybe he does.
But I still don't know if it will fit my M3.

Thanks,

Steele
