Zarja with 26m....Finally

[fanshaw]

hummm,
The one I found

Since it has a wide bevel, it may work. no way to tell until I take a test of a white wall to check out.

Thanks on 49mm conformation.

As you say it looks very wide, so it might be OK as far as the lens is concerned, but I think there is a chance that it might block the viewfinder!

Well, I don't care, the VF is for a 50 anyway, I may get a 28mm VF...for the shoe. Don't know yet. First I need to get the camera and test it out...a few weeks yet

Please tell me where you buy an adaptor to use a M42 on a LTM. I have a great 28mm Miranda lens I would like to try on a ltm. Well done with your Zarya-I bought one a few years ago and it is great!

You can get these on eBay. Just make sure it is a tube rather than a ring. Flangeto-flange is about 17.8mm, so it will be obvious if you see a picture, and it should be promoted that it allows proper focus. There is a guy in Hong Kong making them. Mine came from Ukraine. It was cheap, plain-vanilla, and just fine for the job.

Got mine off Ebay too..it is like a small extention tube, M42 for your lens, and L39 (LTM) for your body.

Got it home...
Shutter speeds sound ok, Shutter is free of leaks, Vf is Bright, SS Dial has no play and locks in place, Rewind control knob locks in place...great cusmedics (8), Case in Exellent shape...no leather cracking, Here are a few snaps with the 30mm f/3.5 Pentacon mounted

I will exersize the shutter though...just to make sure the lub is flexible

WoooHoooo
