Vick, The Summitar was the last only screw mount lens produced
by Leitz. It was never made in bayonet mount. If somebody
glued an bayonet mount adapter on to the tread, then it may
seem like it is bayonet mount, but it isn't.

This reminds me, I have a collapsible Summicron screw mount,
with an adapter somehow glued on to the thread. Any Ideas, how
to get it off without damaging the lens?.

Regards, Horst Schmidt
