Â Did you use the IIIg to take those shots in the 28 Summaron thread? Â Hi Steve - Thanks. Â Yes, many of the film photos were taken with my most favorite compact Barnack camera Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wattsy Posted February 22, 2017 Share #23 Â Posted February 22, 2017 I agree, you'd think Leica could have kept the screw mount and just thrown in an M adapter... Â Â I agree but I don't think Leica really sees the new version of this lens as being anything other than a retro curiosity for M digital camera owners. Certainly that appears to be how they are marketing the lens. Would LTM+adaptor create problems for 6-bit coding which I guess Leica consider an essential feature?

wattsy Posted February 22, 2017 Share #24 Â Posted February 22, 2017 The IIIG is an M because M stands for Messsucher, rangefinder. Â Â I thought messsucher denotes a combined rangefinder and viewfinder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense, Ian, but i guess the 6 bit coding vs adaptability with a Barnack is a subjective preference. I personally think the trade off is a no brainer...
