 Harry - Leitz made a 3 lens turret (OROLF) for the M2/M3 in 1960 (it couldn't
 be made for the Ms in the 40s as Ms didnt exist then.) They are quite rare &
 sell at auction for $2,500 to $5000.  There was a copy of one made by Haber &
 Fink, New York that sells for about $1500 or more.
 
 Another item that was a turret for the Visoflex that held 3 filters (14116)
and
 these sell for $100 to $300 & are less rare.

 Happy New Year

 << 
 Back in the 1940s, Leitz Canada made a three screw lens turret adapter
 for, I believe, an M2 or an M3 which attached to the camera via a bayonet
mount
 on the rear of each lens - or some such. Memory fails.
 
 Is this a desireable collectible, and is there a source for info on it.
 
 Thank you,
