[LRflex] Re: Was : Leicaflex Everready Cases - now double stroke question on M

Aha! we dream the same dreams!! :-)

And would a digital back for the 3003 go down well, too?
Sadly never to be- at least not unless I win the jackpot of the national lottery, then I'll take a taxi and a briefcase full of cash to Braunschweig and ask what the new Franke and Heidecke boffins can do.

How about any Rolleiflex to M adapters?

That would get me an 18mm and an M-Fisheye!  :-)

question on M

The only M alternatives are Leica and Zeiss, which cost you an arm and a leg (bothe 
legs in the case of Leica) and a couple of Vogtländers that cost 5 to 10 times 
the price of an adapter.

If you can find one, get a Yashica 3.5/21 it is a fantastic lens (as is their 
2.8/55 Macro, but that's another story, I don't think scale focussing accuracy 
would be too good with it on an M) and a C/Y to Leica-M adapter - come to think 
of it, that's a cheap way of getting the excellent CZ 1.4/50 and the glorious 
bokeh of the 1.4/85 on a Leica M, too. :-)

I think I'll forget the R to M adapter and go for the C/Y to M.

Cheers
Douglas

I stand corrected.... on a Visoflex, focus is for close ups only... for an M 
body, infinity focus is preserved.

Brings up an ineresting cost issue for a 21 Leica lens on an M body..... R 
lenses
