I'm not certain what Mr Thijs means:  to my knowledge, there has never been
an SPS (Soviet/Post-Soviet) Leica M clone of any sort, though the Russians
manufactured thread-mount Leica derivatives (the Zorki line) until the late
1970's and the Ukrainians made and are still making their Leica II clones in
the FED line from Karkhov.

I would appreciate more information.
