I suspect that if you desperatly want one then a qualified mechanic could build you one more economically than sourcing a genuine 22228. jem K ---------- From: 'leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us' To: KIMEJ44; 'leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us' Subject: 22228 Date: 17 November 1997 06:46 The 22228 has been mentioned a few times lately. I've heard of them for many years but have never had a chance to examine one. Is it just an adapter ring, where you scale focus the R lens, or does it have a focusing helical and cam? Nick
