I was kidding about that. If the lens is designed for a reflex
camera, you'd need an extension tube to use it on a rangefinder
body, and then you'd have no way to focus it.
Actually, some of the way long lenses for the Leica rangefinders
worked that way---there was a reflex mirror and pentaprism that
mounted on the rangefinder body, and then a 400mm lens mounted on
that. Scary stuff.
Anyone know what SLR cameras used 39mm?
(Hmmn, wonder if I can find the answer myself?)

Ah, there we go. Some Zenit SLRs.
BTW, The commonly called "Pentax" M42 screw mount was actually
developed by Carl Zeiss in 1939. Still, even I call it "pentax screw"
most of the time (and M42 otherwise).
cjb.
ObOly: if anyone has the power to stop me spending $50 on a new Shoe 1,
please speak now. (i.e. anyone got a usedie for sale?)
