Hi Greg,

I have finally achieved my goal of modern 50/2.8 glass in a LTM  
mount. A month or so ago, a chap on the Leica forum on photo.net put  
up his conversion for sale. I bought it and am delighted. He sent DAG  
a new lens plus and old summitar/summar lens and DAG performed the  
magic of putting them together. Hazy, scratched summar/summitars are  
a dime a dozen these days so the conversion, using a used 50/2.8M  
would probably cost less than Leica could sell a new one -- which  
they have no intention of making.
