One was for 50mm lenses and it had a focusing helix ( because the Zeiss 50mm lenses were all fitted to the camera that had a built in focusing helix for this purpose). This is the more famous one and costs like around $350-450... I forget who made it....Orion ? ( I think Orion was the old name for Miranda...?) Now the other one...... A simple adapter with the Leica thread on the back side and the Zeiss external bayonet on the front side..... cheap and a lot of these were made..... some fancy, some seem home grown. I think Novoflex made, and still offers one of these. Infinity focus is fuzzy in my memory banks..... I have an odd one..... Leica LTM lenses to Contax RF Bayonet body adapter. Only one I have seen...... I think Marc can chime in and correct any errors I have made, and add to the discussion...... Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net Frank, You are still a very bad man. SWMBO saw that post and knows that I have been checking out 21 Biogons. What I really hope is to stumble across some dimwitted but needy person who has the Contax to LTM adapter for $50. So far no luck so I will probably be out the C notes.
