[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I just miced up my two adapters, the 50mm Leica and the 28/90mm Voight. Both adapters have the cutout for the infinity lock. And both adapters measure within .001" at the cutout area. I don't know what Luis has. Maybe his adapter doesn't have the cutout.

It looks like V has that cutout on one of their adapters. > > On 12/25/06, Leonard Taupier <len-1@comcast.net> wrote: >> >> Hi Luis, >> >> I reread your questions and realize I didn't fully answer your >> question which is "Is there any adapter that with only one adapter >> can I see the framelines for 28/90 and 50?" >> >> The answer is almost.
