I just got an M2 from 1963 and bought a Summicron from 1955 to complement it.

Wow there's something you don't see every day! A Contax G 45mm and an M 240!

Did you get it converted to M mount or buy it from JapanExposures?

It was converted to M mount via a custom fotodiox focusing ring, but it's not from Miyazaki optical or japanexposures. it's through a dude in california that does this work actually. as far as i know it's not as well known as the MS optical (via japan) route. but i prefer this style to the MS optical one. after using Miyazaki's lenses, i dont think his *adapted* lenses are as well built or designed.

unfortunately the focusing ring is too chubby to be used with the m2-m4 with their bigger lens release buttons. it can barely fit on my M4-P as it is.

also, no scale focusing reference points :(
 
Just got my M2 back from repair, which means I finally have something to mount the Nokton 50/f1.5 on, two months after buying it!

Seen here with one of Gordy's straps.

This is the Kodak Eastman House Leica Collection

Plenty of very rare cameras behind this plexiglass. I've made the image quite big so anyone can pixel peep their eyes out. (click on the image)
 
Seems a shame all those mechanical marvels just sitting, not making pictures. 'Course I'm not one to speak since mine hasn't been used for quite a while either.
