Advoo compatibility with 111g lenses

[Augenblick]

Does anyone know what the thread size on an ADVOO close up lens is? Is it 39mm? This is because I am thinking of purchasing an ADVOO for my 111g.

Is the ADVOO only suitable for attaching to to the 50mm Summitar/Summicron lens ?

What happens if one mounts the ADVOO accessory onto a 111g equipped with a 35mm lens instead of a 50mm lens. Will the rangefinder 'glasses' focus incorrectly?

The thread size is 39mm. It was made only for 50mm lenses. I know the 50 Elmar f2.8 will work as well as the 50 Summicron.

Not sure, but I would imagine the focusing would be off with a 35mm.

Advoo was made to used with the f2.8 50mm Elmar, I suppose the Summicron will work as well, while they are the same diameter

I`ve personally only seen them attached to f2.8`s

PS: I`d like to see some work shot with the Advoo on a IIIG with the f2.8

Got me my own ADVOO today. It's in excellent shape with case and instructions. The instructions state the ADVOO will work with all Leica 50mm lenses except the Summarit and Summilux. It has a 39mm thread so it works directly with the Summicron and the 2.8 Elmar. It will work with the Summitar via the adapter SNHOO. It will work with the A36 size 50mm lenses via adapter SOOGZ.
