[Leica] Jupiter adapters???

[Don Dory]

Whatever combination gets you from LTM to E mount.  You will have more
precision if you acquire an LTM to E directly.  I have bought some from
Amazon quite inexpensively as well as from KEH when they have them in
stock.  But I started LTM-M then M-E and I found others I switched over.
With multiple adapters assume a non flat field as you can expect tolerance
stacking not in your favor.  Have fun though, the 85 and 135 are very, very
good and 1.5 Sonnar are good but a little quirky.

Thanks Don, as I have both LTM and M mount Leica lenses do I have to have
two separate adapters to Sony E mount, or will the Leica LTM to M mount
work with a M mount to E mount without any problems?
Thanks
Douglas
