Now I have the LTM lenses (35, 50, 90) and one 35 lens (with eyes) for M mount. I know there are adapters to use the LTM lenses on the M body, but I do not know which ones they are and where to get them (other than Tamarkin or Don Chatterton). I also plan on getting the 15mm Heliar soon. One thing I was cautioned about is the quality of the adapters. I want something good, does not have to be Leica made, but must be better than pot metal :-) and preferably I would not have to sell my first born to acquire it. Second item is hoods. I have seen lots of traffic on this issue and I am puzzled. why do these blasted things cost so much. is there something strange about the leica lenses (odd threads or size)? Why not use good ol'e series lens hoods? They are a dime a half dozen :-) - -_______________ Andrei D. Calciu NEC America, Inc. No Archive
