Actually, I believe that Marc once mentioned that some of the Jupiter lenses did not have the exact thread of the LTM leica lenses, then again, was this version made for a Contax, maybe? Like you, I have the Jupiter-12, circa 1978, and it fits both the IIIf and IIIb, as well as all the Leitz adapter rings (3 at this time) I use... incidently, I found that the 135mm adapter ring brings up the 35mm frame lines in the M6 so I don't need the auxilary VF! I did have the Jupiter 5cm/f1,5 at one time, BS (Before Summarit) and it fit perfectly, though it was not a particularly sharp one- but boy, it sure was a nice looking lens!! You may end up getting another one- hopefully you can bolt it on BEFORE you buy it, and sell the other on 'The Auction Site, The Name of Which We Cannot Mention'. By the way- you might share some of the photos you sent me ( I hope I remembered to thank you for sharing!)- do you have a website or space where you can post them? I am sure that a number of our LTM brethren might be interested in what you are doing with your "obsolete" hardware!!
