The first source was Leica itself who developed a movie camera (Leicina Special Super 8) that used a M bayonet mount and a series of adapters to mount various other lenses. These adapters can be used on M cameras as well. 22233 for Minolta lenses 22232 for M42 lenses 22230 for Arriflex lenses 22228 for Leicaflex lenses It seems to me there was a C mount adapter to but I cannot locate the part no. Unfortunately the 22228 adapter has achieved collector status (though the others do not seem to have!?) and usually is listed for about $300US to $400US The second source is the various after market adapter manufacturers of which Novoflex is probably the most well known: http://www.novoflex.com/html/products.htm John Collier > From: Pablo Kolodny <pkolodny@fibertel.com.ar> > > Sometime ago I saw an adapter to have R lenses onto M bodies. > It sounded to me as Angenieux made... > > I'll appreciate any comments on that. > I'd be trying to work with a 19 mm or 21mm R lenses on one of my M6 or M2 > bodies. > I assume that speaking on wide angle lenses I would not feel worried about > focusing... >
