Some years ago I bought lens blanks from Hadley Chamberlain (http://

<sigh>  You can lead 'em to water, but you can't make 'em drink!
M39 is NOT LTM.  M39 is 39mm by 1mm DIN.  LTM is
39mm by 26 turns-per-inch Whitworth.  Both FED
and Canon got this wrong at first.  Do not follow
in the footsteps of a firm named after the founder of the Cheka!
