Compare the specs cut and pasted (via translate.google.com), especially the length. I am thinking that there is something amiss with the specified length. The M-mount P version shows a total length of 25.4mm compared to the spec'd length for the LTM version of 29.1. Perhaps the LTM version was measured with the shade in place? It doesn't seem logical that the M-mount version would be _shorter_. (?) The price difference is pretty steep, too. The M version is $419 + $128 (~$550) for the finder, compared to $329 + $55 for the adapter (~$390).
