Lightroom 1 and Cyan Drift Quick Cure

I got my 39mm 486 for the CV today - fits like a dream with a coupla layers of thinly ribboned double-sided adhesive tape - and noticed immediately that it really does get the cyans. I have an old style Leitz screw to M adaptor arriving tomorrow so I can code it, but in the meantime I used Lightroom's new squeezy adjustment tool. Just went to the cyan corners, chose to turn on colour adjustments > saturation > selected the little squueezy thing and positioned the eye-glass over the cyan corner, dragged down and Bob was my uncle. Down and dirty to be sure but a very quick radical improvement - and (gasp) it's a quick fix for certain magenta issues too.

 

Surely not!

Where did you find the Leica screw to M adapter ..been looking for one for weeks ? Did you get the 9cm version so that you are using the correct frame setting?

Cancel that wild optimism: their site said it was the old kind, a Leitz from years of yore, in fact it's a cheap knock-off and has the flange cutaway that prevents coding. Grrrrr.
