Ok,
I went to the Cameraquest site and now I'm totally confused. I need adapters for a screw mount 50mm, and my 35mm screw-mount Summaron.
Can someone educate me on the most practical approach.
Do I need a specific adapter for the 50 and a specific adapter for the 35mm? Coded option or Not?
My 50mm's are predominantly infinity lock versions and the 35 as well. I'm just not sure of what I need....versionI or versionII.

Any alternative vendors recommendations?
Thanks All

you need separate adapters for those two focal lengths to bring up the proper framelines - at least on Leica M cameras. Most use one adapter on each lens and leave it on that lens, because its a pain to switch the adapters from lens to lens to most people.

usually only Type I adapters fit infinity lock 50's, but not always.

Type II adapters are code able for the digital M Leicas,
for other cameras the coding makes no difference.
