Subject: [Leica] Removing those LTM to M adapters

I was told this by my local Leica guy.....

If you have removed your LTM lens from your M camera, and the adapter is
stuck firmly on the M body.. how do you get it off?  Usually it requires the
use of foul language and the sacrifice of a finger nail or 2......

ANSWER:  Remember the older M lens rear lens caps?  They were usually 2
colors.... on the BACK of the cap are 3 raised buttons/dots.... they are
used as a wrench on the adapter...turn, save fingernails, save cursing, and
enjoy.....

I don;t remember seeing this tip here.  If this is a duplicate, I
apologize....
