Always looking for different lens for my Canon P. And was wondering if anyone had tried the Hexars and the results. Have had good results using LTM lens on other cameras.

The Konica LTM lenses are fairly rare, so command a price premium. Konica lenses are very good- I converted a 50/1.7 AR-Hexanon to RF coupled M-Mount.

The 1950s Minolta lenses are also very good- do not cost nearly as much. The 45/2.8 is tiny, uses 34mm filters.

I used coated Leica screw threads and Nikon screw threads happily. The uncoated Leica lenses were terrible. Otherwise they were all great.

No Leica lens but lots of Canon LTM's and a Voigtlander Color Skopar 21mm f4. Really liking the Voigtlander.
