[Leica] Help - Leica 65 3.5 Elmar-Off List

[glehrer at san.rr.com (Jerry Lehrer)]

TINA,

I assume by now, that you realise that the lens was never intended for 
use directly on any M body.  No RF coupling, or even a focusing scale. As we
say in engineering, "If everything fails, RTFM".

By the way, I may have a 75mm Summi available, but I am afraid if I sold 
it to you, it would put me up to ridicule by the same people who responded
to you on the 65mm Elmar.

That is why this response is off list.

Jerry
