[Leica] IMG: Flutterbys Using the Takumar 135

[Steve Barbour]

so Frank,  I want to be sure I’ve got it, this lens, a 135/4 takumar/ rollei /zeiss unit is basically an M 42 pentax screw mount lens ?   

These adapters are available for both Fuji X and Sony A7. 

Et voila…that’s it?

thank you

steve
