[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Thank you very much Douglas, Marshall, Leonard for your answers and opinions, I think I need a different adapter for the 50mm, and this one should made by Leitz. With this one I can see the properly framelines for the screwlenses I have (only the 28 and 50 mm ... For the moment). All the best for these Christmas holidays!

Can the tolerance on the V adapter be that bad? My lock easily clears the edge of the adapter. I would more believe there is damage or a poor repair on his Elmar. I would advise Luis to get a Leica 50mm adapter but don't know if that will correct his problem. Len On Dec 25, 2006, at 3:29 PM, Marshall Hunt wrote: > The adapter by Leitz is a marvel of precision.
