M42 to LTM39 adaptor

[p.giannakis]

Is there an adaptor like that? I found some results on google but i haven't heard about anyone using it.
Has anybody used one of those step-down rings? Can you provide some pictures?

Thank you!

Cameraquest once sold them, may still do.
I can use my 135mm Travegon and 90mm Tele-Xenars on a IIIB if I choose.

However, I've wondered why I ever wanted to do so. 🙂

I'll try to post an image.

Is this the direction that you want?

Yes, that is what i wanted to know. Do those adaptors work well with LTM cameras. I have a IIc and i was wondering if i can put my takumar 50 f/1.4 on it. Does it focus to infinity without problems?

They made me a Nikon F to Leica screw adapter and it works fine at all distances. Of course, the lenses aren't RF coupled.They made it as a screw adapter to save me money (their suggestion - I wanted F-to-M): I just put one of my own screw-to-M adapters on.

Cheers,

I use a No 1 extension tube and a Leica to Pentax adapter. Both are made by Pentax. I works fine but I only use wide angles.
