Re: [Leica] Pentax/Screw Takumar Lenses on the M6?

["SonC (Sonny Carter)" <SonC@sonc.com>]

I have a Pentax Thread to Leica Thread adaptor, and I use it
on my LTM to M adaptor for a 19mm Pentax Mount.
You just have to make sure the Pentax lens manual switch is
set.  The arrangement works good.

I also have used a Canon lens on my M6, using a Canon FD>LTM
adaptor on top of the LTM>M adaptor.  Sounds crazy, but it
works.  In this case, you have to block the cam on the back
of the lens so the auto-opening iris is defeated.
