 Hmmm

Would you get the same "look" from the thread mount but collapsible
Summicron, and use the Bayonet to LTM adapter?

I've been hanging on to one of those for a long time.

Peter,

I had the same feeling as you did. I love the look of the DR and really
wanted it to work on the M8. I couldn't find a junker like what you're
looking for so I bought a BGN from KEH. I paid a little more then what I
wanted to but when I got it it was beautiful. It works exactly the way I
want. Now I'm happy. I've also noticed that since the M8 came out there are
a lot of DR's for sale now, and very few chrome rigids. The price should
start coming down.

Good Luck.
Len
