Hello everybody,
After a few years without a rangefinder I found an M8 for a really good price. The first lens for it will be the CV 35mm F/2.5 C in LTM.
Now for my questions.
After a few years without a rangefinder I found an M8 for a really good price. The first lens for it will be the CV 35mm F/2.5 C in LTM.
Now for my questions.
- Reid Reviews talks about a Milich adapter that can be easily coded for the M8 (with the milled indentations) but I seem to be unable to find the place to buy it or the price. Can somebody help?
- Cameraquest states that their type II adapter can also be easily coded. Does someone know how this works with that adapter? Are there also 6 indentations?
- What is the correct code to use for this particular lens?
- Does anyone have the lens with coded adapter for sale to make things easy for me

John Milich's email address is jm-at-milich.com replace -at- with @.
John's adapters have the six pits milled into them, the type II adaptor does not.
You can see the various codes here...

I'd pick a 35mm Summarit as the code to copy.
