I'm trying to use an LTM adapter so I can use my Snapshot Skopar 25 on an M body.
My Voigtlander adapter that is on a CV28 is perfect. I tried three other brands so far:

1/ Fedka for $52 + $12 shipping. Ok, but if you tighten it fully it brings up other frame lines. Focus point indicator lines up at 12 o clock as it should.

2/ Fotodiox for $6. Brings up correct frame lines. Focus point indicator does not line up at 12 o clock as it should. Lines up at about 11am.

3/ Metabones for $40. Brings up correct frame lines. Focus point indicator does not line up at 12 o clock as it should. Lines up at about 11am. Really rough feeling when attaching to the camera mount. Gouged the mount of my M240. Not cool.

Anyway, I can only recommend the Voigtlanders out of the four that I have tried. Shame they are hard to get now.

The Voigtlander LTM adapters are discontinued now, and mostly sold out.

I replaced my stock with Rayqual LTM adapters, which I believe are of equal quality while also offering easier 6 bit coding.
