Subject: [Leica] 22232 adapter

Dear Luggers,

I happened to get a beautiful 22232 adapter ring - the one that
allows mounting of M42 lenses to a M Body (or, originally to the
Leicina special camera).
I tried mounting two different M42 lenses to my M then and found
that the lenses are about 30 degrees off the 12 o'clock position.
Has anyone noticed this before? I am a bit in doubt now, because
I wanted to use it for a fisheye lens and those have unsymmetric
shades.

Best Regards,

Gerd
