They sell, M42 to Canon EOS,FD, Minolta AF,MD, Pentax K(well probably it's pentax brand 'cause it's 900yen), Contax RTS, Rollei 3003 cameras. Just for info, they have Viso-1 Leica lens to Nikon F, Canon FD, etc cameras. Leica R Lens to Leica Screw adapter. Alpa Macrosweeter to Leica, etc... They make their adopter mounts by themselves, some are in limited quantities. BTW, do you know Konica sold two types of limited-quantity Leica-SM lens recently?? As of Ricoh, they may be up to something... BTW2, I'm thinking about buying good-old Topcon LeicaSM lens, (because I was so impressed with the Toko triplet lens mounted to the PrimoFlex that I had.) Has anyone used the lens before?? I wanna hear about the impression. The name of the lens should be Simlar or similar... I am trying to fit it into M42.
