I hope someone can tell us if it could work. I do have a 20mm Russar and mine is also a very fine example of this lens. I would realy like to put it permanently on a body so I could stick with my 35, 50 and 90 on my Leica. Maybe Stephen Gandy could help us? Or meanwhile, maybe we can find something about that in his great website. Go see: http://www.cameraquest.com/voigtbl.htm for more on the Bessa L.
