'C' Lens mount

Recommended Posts

I am looking to purchase a 35mm summicron but I have seen a couple of Leitz 40mm C lenses for a Leica CL. Is this the same bayonet fitting as my M8? Or would I need an adaptor.

Same bayonet yes, no adaptor needed.

You'll have to file the flange though if you want to bring up the 35mm framelines.

Also the sloping cam of the 40/2 (here on M4-2) might cause focusing problems according to some rumors but i haven't got any with my 3 copies of that lens on either my Ms or Epson rangefinders. Never tried the 40/2 on a M8 though.
