There I was, peacefully browsing the Internet - One of the last 2.5/125Apo-Macro Lanthars, new, struck my eye. Now it is on its way to me, and I don't even know if these lenses are as good as the other CV offerings - and the M8 has no framelines... At any rate the 90 adapter will fit, and a 58 mm 486 filter I have lying around....
 
Jaap,

I´m very sorry, but as far as I know the apo macro lanthar is not M39, but M42 aka scewmount for slr like pentax spotmatic. Are you sure that you can adapt it?

No I cannot :bang: I found the same issue even before I read your post and you are 100% right. :mad: :mad: . No problem, I will switch to Leica again.. SHphoto were very very good about my cancelling the order.:angel: I am truly a maniac - and a stupid one to boot:(
 
Jaap... I'm afraid your self-diagnostic was correct: you're a maniac.

But then, I am one too... Just have a bit more self-control some times. :)
 
Hey Jaap,
I can send an M42 body if you really want to try the lens.:angel:
If you don't like it, you can send it to me instead of putting it in the bin. :D

If you're a maniac, I'm a utter lost cause. I seem to be collecting random 50mm lenses that I don't need...
At least the one you mentioned was a nice addition to an already substatial kit.

I started off bad and it just got worse :( Now I've stumbled on a last-edition mint 135/4.0 and I have no framelines and I already have a 135/2.8 goggled I never use:bang: . I'll run side by side tests to salve my conscience, but I already know the outcome. Anybody interested in purchasing a A+first-gen (double hood) 135/2.8 coded and including series7 486 filter, checked by Leica too... offers?:(

www.foto-huppert.de It is a special order and will take about two to three weeks, but they are in stock from time to time as well. E41 filters as well.
Basically B&W will produce a filter in any size and shape on order, and the prices are not too bad either.

I have the 1st version of that lens, I really love it. I have an old generic 35-200 zoom finder which should have a perfect spot for framing it on an M8. I also have the short focusing mount for it too, that goes on a Visoflex, or with the 14167 V-to-R adaptor and an R-to-EF adaptor it goes on my 20D. A 216mm lens that fits in my pocket. And with the EF 1.4x behind it, a pocketable 300mm f/5.6. The big plus of that lens is it's already in top form wide open.

Would really love to try my screw mount 105/2.5 Nikkor on an M8. At 140mm equivalent a 135mm accessory finder should be just about right.
