the decision as to which to keep is much harder than i expected. coding may be an issue though, it is not easy to code the CVs the way the mouting flanges are.

if i were rich i'd go all leica but as a realist with a budget my bag will be mixed for a while.

don't discount the CVs, they availble used and are cheap enough with enough resale market that you can play for a bit with them.

Actually, it's very easy to code the LTM CVs if one can find the old Leitz adapters. I've hand-coded the following so far for testing:

21/4
25/4
28/3.5
28/1.9
35/2.5
35/1.7

Cheers,

Sean
