I'm going to back off of the use-my-ltm-lenses-on-digital idea. I have Cosina-Voigtlanders LTM in 15mm, 24mm, 35mm, 50mm and 75mm (that's why I wanted to do it), But I don't want to go for a Leica for only a few years shooting. Any suggestions about selling them off would be welcome. CameraQuest is full up with LTMs in his inventory these days. (I hope I'm not breaking a rule by asking sales question.)

I never used the thermometer, having heard of them breaking during agitation. I've used the handles of plastic chopsticks. The square handles allowed me to spin the agitator while pumping it. Vibrating things weren't easily available in 1970-71.

As I recall, the Minox B made a slight winding noise when closing it the last few millimeters of the return stroke. That was the winding noise that I heard when I first bought it in 1970. That said, you should get it serviced. If Don Goldberg still does it, he was the best. There are others via Google search. The meter is not powered; the bimetal mechanism loses accuracy of be time. You should ask if it can be renewed or otherwise adjusted. The aperture is constant, so the meter adjustment is very basic by reading the scales. You should check accuracy with a good meter or a good camera's meter. Wow, have fun.

We retired and now are downsizing. I thought of selling my LTM equipment, then had a second thought. What digital cameras might I buy that can use my LTM lenses (15mm, 24mm, 35mm, 50mm, 70mm)? Are adapters available? Has anyone done this successfully? I know I can get a good LTM/M3 adapter, but what digital cameras can take an M-3 mount? Or, would two adapters work? (One for the lens and onf ro the camera.) Since I'm downsizing, smaller and lighter than my old SLR would be great.
