It seems it's hard to find an M adapter for LTM mount 50mm; on eBay I find a few (rather expensive) "35-135" adapters, but nothing for 50mm..
Anyone has experience with these China adapters ? Are they any good ?

What about for 50mm lens, any favourite seller ?
 
Well, our retail sponsors of course can provide you with adaptors, but of couse perhaps not at ebay prices. Many have used and not complained about the Maurami (spelling ?) adaptors. They are offered on ebay by a Canadian retailer. What options does Robert White offer?
 
Robert White has the Voigtlander LTM to M adapters. I bought a 50/75 and a 28/90 a few months back. They retail for approx. £35.00. Its more difficult to find the original Leitz adapters but they do come up occasionally on the bay. I do not know if there is any advantage in using them instead of all the other ones. The Voigtlander adapters have worked fine for me.
 
The VC Voigtlander adapters are great.

You can easily order them at B&H. Every once in a while, you can find one used at KEH as well.

In all honesty, the original Leitz ones are overpriced unless you are a collector.

Unless you bought them from joe. Or caught others napping and scored a 50mm on ebay for $30. 😀 Miracles do happen.

$30? that is a great price Wayne ! congrats 🙂

I stand corrected, patience wins great rewards. cheers

Powering up my brain, it may have been the 35/135 adapter I got for $30. Anyway, for sure I got 2 Leitz adapters (50 & 35/135) for $80 plus postage. Not exactly a steal, but a lot better than the $75-$90 each that most dealers quote.
