That means you need the adapter from LTM to M mount? will it add weight and length ?

Yes although it comes with the lens. I suppose if they’d made it with the bayonet mount it wouldn’t have been true to the original. I’m not personally so attached to that level of facsimile but it’s either a replica or it isn’t. 
 

I’ll see how I like it and either keep it or replace it. 
 

It has to actually get here first, of course. It’s been sitting at “Preparing shipment “ since the day I ordered it!

I had shipping notification today 👍🏻


Standard black paint is NZ$1950  and the HCB version was NZ2278  including the adapter. 

 

I don’t know how many in total of the HCB ones were made  but this is the real one that they copied. I don’t know exactly where they got the specs accurately enough though  unless they actually bought this one:
