The wrong decision is to have a LTM only mount set of lenses, but that is the present market solution. Yes, there is a market for LTM lenses, but given the simple fact that the last LTM camera ( before the Bessa) is over 45 years old, and there were less than 1 million cameras made compared to about 2 million M cameras, the market favors the M mount. PS.. I do have the 15 in LTM mount. The adapter is pretty permanently affixed to avoid the problem of the mount getting stuck on the M body. It is not a good solution, it is the only solution that I could have. If it were available in M mount, I would sell my LTM version and go for the M only mount, Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net
