Subject: RE: [Leica] LTM to M adapter rings

I have the three adapter set from Stephen.  They work nicely and fit firmly.
My only complaint is the level of finish is not superb.  If you run you
fingers around some of the machined edges you can feel some burring and
roughness.  I don't think this is a serious problem though.

Are they fairly rigid? I was going to order a set but didn't know if they 
were "tough enough." Are all the edges smooth? Although I haven't picked an 
M-body yet, I don't want to mess it up when I mount the rings to it.

Thanks

I tested them on my M3 and found them to fit and focus without a problem.   
Although a non-Leitz brand, they appeared to be comparable in machining. 
materials and finish.


Stephen can be reached at cameras@jetlink.net.
