These adaptors are easily found. Second, I'd go for a IIIc body: they're relatively common and rather inexpensive. They offer slow speeds but lack a self timer or flash synch; Leica supplied the first in the APDOO and Geiss the second with the Kontakt, if you need either. Zorkii: I don't believe any of the Zorkii or FED variants offer slow speeds, though I don't have my references at hand to confirm this. A good one of either can be impressive, a poor one frustrating. Leica's generally a better buy. Good luck, and happy hunting! Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh bas fir gun ghras fir!
