SAVE THIS MESSAGE, EVERYONE! Here is the straight skinny: The Leica adapters are: IRZOO/14097 brings up the 50mm frameline ISBOO/14098 brings up the 90mm frameline ISOOZ/14099 brings up the 135mm frameline Note that there are permutations with what will come up depending on the camera. These sell used for between $50 and $75 in decent condition. J Uhl in Germany has obtained Leica's permission to do a new run of these at around $80 each. There is an effort in Poland to reproduce these. The one I saw (actually, own, as it was sent me to review) is heavy brass and quite nice, but only fitted Zenit TM lenses (!). Finally, Steve Gandy is selling a series of these adapter rings about which those owning them have only had praise. (I have never seen these, but they come HIGHLY recommended -- and, trust me, as veterans on this List know, Steve and I have had many, many differences over the years!) His Web Site can be found at: http://www.cameraquest.com I believe Steve is charging $80 or so for all three, but, please, check his web site for details.
