<p>That's about it. There may be a couple other obscure ones.</p>

<p>Add the Leica M4-P.</p>

[miles_s.]

<p>The Chinese Red Flag 20 by the Shanghai No. 2 Camera Factory could be added for completeness.<br>

As noted the M4-P is missing. The CL should properly be listed under Minolta and Leica. I think the Hexar Half Frame was called the "Hexar 72" but I have never seen one in person or print. What is a Leica M4A?<br>

Not sure what criteria you are using for inclusion and exclusion of various Leica models? If the Hexar 72 is to be included why note the M4-2 Half Frame?<br>

Try Camerapedia for lists.</p>

Not a film body, but the Epson EP-1.

[aplumpton]

<p>There was a military version of the M film camera from Leitz Midland Ontario (K-7e or something like that) which can be found sometimes on the used market. Apparently there were some M mount Leica IIIg's made, but likely not circulated on the market. There was also a Minolta CL, although the Leica CL was also made by Minolta to Leitz design and apparently the same instrument but with different logo.</p>

[miles_s.]

<p>Sorry what is an Epson EP-1? Do you mean Olympus PEN E-P1? That is a micro four-thirds camera. <br>

<br>

I guess the M-mount module for Ricoh GXR system could be added to. </p>

<p>"...no I do NOT want a LTM/LSM m39 screw mount that I can use an adapter with, as the rangefinder wont work...".</p>

<p>Don't know if there ever was an adapter of this kind. It would act as an extension tube.</p>

<p>M lenses cannot be fitted to LTM bodies, although the opposite is true. (LTM glass>M body).</p>

[leicaglow]

I typed Epson RD-1, but something different came out. <g>

[t_nu_tamm]

<p>No, there was not a single russian m mount bodiy as far as I know. I've seen a few ultra rare prototype m-mount lenses sold at Westlight auction, one was Helios-103, the other was Kaleinar-5.</p>

[Aoresteen]

<p>Steve,</p>

<p>M lenses CAN be fitted to a screwmount body. For the most part they just won't focus to infinity.</p>

<p>There was a version of the Visoflex for Leica screw mount that could use M lenses heads as I recall and they did focus to infinity.</p>

<p>Well, E is next to R on the keyboard...</p>

<p>Doug,<br>

To your list I would add the Zeiss Ikon SW which is a viewfinder-less Zeiss Ikon with is optimized to work with 25mm Biogons and wider lenses. I think it is still in production. As for ZM, that's Zeiss's designation for Zeiss M-mount lenses.</p>
