I agree: I have one and I love it dearly. However, the potential buyer should take note: It will not mount on all cameras that have an LTM mount or M mount (via an adapter). For example, I know from first hand experience that the Bessa L, R2, & T cameras will not accept this lens, due to the deeply seated rear element contacting the innards of the camera frame. I'm assuming (although I don't have first hand experience) that the same is true of the Bessa R. It does work on a Leica M1/M2/M3/M4 with the appropriate adaptor. AFAIK, it will mount, but may not meter correctly, on an M6/M6TTL/M7. I works on screwmount Leicas (of which the inital Russian rangefinder cameras were copies). I have no experience of the Canon rangefinders. M. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
