Re: [OM] [OT] leica M 50mm lens wanted

[Andrew Fildes]

I'll let you know. I've ordered an M adapter and a cheap M>SM adapter  
and I'll do the measurements when I can.
It doesn't fit a CosVoigt Bessa because of a ledge in the throat,  
right at the back. It's only a matter of a couple of mm.
The lens is a bit awkward but is a good performer - Biotar copy.
You can get a cheap 35mm viewfinder for use with film - for use on 4:3  
I've thought of masking down the cheap Russian 85mm finder.
One advantage of the Russians is that many use the same 40.5mm filter  
size as the Oly kit lens.
