Filing M adapter to get 35mm framelines on M2?

[squirrel$$$bandit]

Sorry, I did a few searches for this but couldn't find the answer. Are there instructions anywhere for filing down an M-LTM adapter to get the 35mm framelines on the M2? All I have are two 50/75's and three 28/90's. Which should I file, and how?

I know I've seen a link to a diagram before, but couldn't find it.

I have an extra 35mm I will trade you for a 90mm. Where do you live?

Ithaca, New York. That would be great! But you should know these are inexpensive Chinese 28/90's, not Leitz or Voigtlander. They work perfectly, but it might not be an even trade!

Actually...never mind! 30 seconds of examining the adapter and camera and 30 seconds of dremeling took care of it. Thanks for the offer, Steverett...

Yeah, mine are the chinese ones too. I got a set (35/50/90), but the 50 brings up 35 lines, and the 90 wouldn't mount. I sent back the 90, but never got a new one. So now I have 2 35's, and a CV 50 that I just bought, but no 90. 🙁

Would you be up for a trade anyway?

I just got a 90 from heavystar on ebay. Not very costly, really. I think it was about 20 bucks.

steverett, I'll pass on that offer--but definitely buy a couple on eBay, they're cheap, and you'll eventually buy lenses to fill them...
