Hi again, don't get you'r hopes up about putting
this lens on a Leica screw mount body. The Leica
flange to film distance is 28.8mm, the Exakta distance
is 44.7mm. Just by looking at the E-bay photo it looks
like the flange of the screw thread is only 3or4 mm
closer to the film, this means that even if the lens
would mount on a LTM (Leica thread mount) body it
would not focus at any distance, being too close to
the film, hmmm, this is a puzzle, perhaps it was a
adapter to use it on a bellows for close up work.
