Subject: [Leica] Help with leica lens

Good Day LUG users, I have now joined the ranks of Leica users by purchasing 
my first Leica M 4-2. I have shot for years with different cameras and 
formats but this purchase has me very excited. The help that I need is now 
that I have a body I need to start finding some lenses. I have been surfing 
some sites and they have suggested all kinds of imformation but the one 
question that keeps coming back to me is .......

Will an LTM lens such as an earlier Leica , Canon or the newer Voigtlander 
lens coupled with an M mount adaptor still hook-up with the rangefinder on 
my M 4-2?

Now I know what you all are saying right now and that is why don't you just 
buy the correct lens to begin with and the simple reason is economics. Why 
doesn't everyone drive a BMW, same reason. I need to save up for the premium 
lenses and or keep my eye out for a slighly battered users, but that takes 
time and I want to try the new body out soon.
Any imformation would be greatly appreciated and even some suggestions as to 
which lenses to look out for and which to stay away from.
Thank you for your time and effort
Chris Higgins
