He's a well known repairer here in England and abroad, in fact he was even given the task of reviving the Leitz UR Leica! Apparently no-one at the factory wanted the job!!! His address is Upper Lye Farm Aymestrey, Leominster, Hertfordshire, HR6 9SZ England Tel 44 1568 770542 Jem K ---------- From: 'leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us' To: KIMEJ44; 'leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us' Subject: [Leica] LTM question Date: 08 December 1997 10:25 I was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible (and then, who can do it) to convert M-mount lenses to thread mount. In particular I am interested in converting a current 50/2.8 Elmar. It seems like it's getting harder and harder to find Leitz lenses that have mint glass or glass that can be cleaned- up to that condition, and when I do they're extremely expensive. Doc
