I am only aware of a single Zeiss lens fitted by Leitz to Leica. Aftermarket dudes did many such, of course, but few of these are RF-coupled. And, of course, what else are the current crop of Russian LTM Jupiter lenses save for Zeiss lenses in LTM? Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh bas fir gun ghras fir!
