[Leica] IMG: Flutterbys Using the Takumar 135

[Frank Filippone]

The Takumar is probably an M42 screw mount lens.  Many times referred to as
Pentax Screw Mount.  Or Universal screw mount.

Should cost you about $10 on FleaBay.

Wrong, $5 (Sony).   I looked it up.
Fuji is $8

About the same as 1% of the TAX on a Leica body.

is there an adapter so this lens can be used on a Fuji X or Sony A7 ?
