tim_tan1 Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 Information on M mount to LTM adapter. Thinking of getting a IIIc and wonder whether my M6TTL lens would work well on the old camera with the adapter. Anyone using this setup and their experiences pls. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troll Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 You're out of luck -- it adapts screw mount lenses to bayonet mount body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark-j Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 Tim: Screw mount bodies have a lens flange to film plane distance equal to one mm less than on the M series bodies. This allows LTM lenses to be used on the M bodies. If you could find an adapter to put an M lens on a IIIc, you would not be able to focus.

todd frederick Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 Tim, I just posted an ad for my pristine IIIC body. Take a look. Why not consider that plus a nice Summitar lens? This particular IIIC is unlike any other you will ever find. Read the description. Keep your M unit as a camera/lens unit. Anyway, you and add a screw mount to an M body with and adaptor but not the other was round...you can't attach an M lens to a screw mount body. Get the IIIC with a lens as a separate camera system...I have a beauty available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lutz Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 Tim, welcome to the world of wonderful LTM Voigtlaender lenses and LTM to M adapters(!). While most of them maintain their rangefinder coupling when mounted to the M6, they might even start to rival your Leica lenses... ;o) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_w. Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 I believe there does exist a bayonet to ltm adaptor. search the forum, even a model no. and pic was shown. the bayonet is recessed into the ltm body. speculation and theory is not help.

stephen_w. Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 thinking about it again and breaking out the equip. to chack; the ltm mount is smaller than the m-mount...currently eating crow for dinner, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
