  I was under the impression that the f/.95 fitted the outside bayonet on the
  Canon 7 series.  Any comments?

Hi Douglas,

     Well, the Canon 50/0.95 I had was definitely Leica screw mount.  I
didn't notice or pay much attention to the mount at the time, but there
were no obvious signs of anything being altered.

     I believe I read somewhere that Canon also made this lens in the
Leica screw mount.  That type of marketing was very common back then.
