From 35mm to 50mm, you'll have to 'add' metal to the 'cam', which is not easy but not impossible.

For my purposes they work ok, but I have been using the only LTM adaptors I own which are designed for 35/135 lenses. Consequently the 50mm window doesn't come up on my M4-2 unless I bring it up manually with the lever. Is it possible to convert one of my two 35 LTM convertors to bring up the 50mm? Or is there a source of inexpensive adaptors? Steven Gandy's $55 convertors cost nearly as much as my Russian lenses and those on E**y are also expensive. As an alternative I would be willing to trade one of the Leica 35 convertors for a 50. Regards, Rob McClure _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
