xkaes Subscriber Joined Mar 25, 2006 Messages 4,791 Location Colorado Format Multi Format Feb 4, 2023 #1 I have a couple of 40mm to Leica M39 (STEP-DOWN) adapters -- these are hard enough to find, but allow me to put Leica M39 mount lenses on #1 shutters. What seems even harder to find is a Leica M39 to 40mm (STEP-UP) adapter -- to allow me to put #1 shutter lenses onto Leica M39 cameras and devices. Anyone ever hear of such a beast -- or is this another Frank Zappa situation?

You'll have to figure out focusing via a helical or extension tubes, too... RafCamera and Custom Photo Tools both make many unusual thread adapters as well as doing custom work. I've been satisfied with adapters from both companies.
