menopta on ltm cameras?

[rbiemer]

While I was idly looking at ebay, came across this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/lens-Contax-Kiev-adapter-M-39-/181165373476?pt=US_Vintage_Cameras&hash=item2a2e4c3824

Not sure that I think this would really be functional?
Any opinions, folks?
I'm thinking this might make for easy use of a kiev mount J-9 on my ltm bodies?

As it mentions in the text, it's for an enlarger, and as such it doesn't need to have a focusing mount. Since it can't be focused, it's not really usable on a camera. The adapter would push onto the back of the lens and be held on with a setscrew. It appears to only fit the Contax/Kiev internal mount, so couldn't be attached to a J9 in any case.

cheers,
Dez
