Leica LTM looking for an adapter - LTM to Canon FD

[eric rose]

I want to be able to use my old FD lenses on my LTM camera. Anyone know where I can get one? I check FeeBay but didn't find anything.

Thanks,

Eric

You need the Canon adapter B, they do come up for sale once in a while.
one sold recently on our classifieds.

Pacific Rim Camera had one a year or two ago. It may still be there. Adorama had one about the same time.

Remember the large size of the FD lenses... Mounting them on a Barnack-style LTM does, at a minimum, obscure part of the RF/VF. Because of the lack of focusing, wide angle lenses, with their wide DOF, are the only practical option.
They will work, but zone focusing can be clumsy. I've used the 24/2.8 on a couple of occasions, mounted on a Canon P.

Check KEH - you may have to call. I got mine through them, but it wasn't easy to find on the website. No problem over the phone though.

Thanks everyone. I will call KEH. They are my favorite source anyway.

This is what you need. http://www.speedgraphic.co.uk/prod.asp?i=16376&1=Novoflex+LEICAN+Canon+FD+to+Leica+M39+Body+Adaptor

I have one and it works fine.

And here is how my Canon LTM body looks wearing a Canon FL 35mm f2.5 lens. Pretty cool I think

I have a no longer needed Converter A, but that works the "wrong" way.

Peterm1, is your turret finder made in Liechtenstein and marked "Argus"? Looks exactly like mine.

Interesting... Looks exactly like mine as well, but mine is a German Steinheil. It's a nice little finder, too, though the image is a bit small.
