Leica thread mount lenses (LTM) are very difficult to code for recongition by the camera (discussed above). Sad to say, none of this will get any easier if Leica ever goes to a higher resolution sensor. The body of pre-M8 Leica M lenses was built over a 53-year period to the tole...

I found the threadmount of the IIIg limiting while hankering for M.mount glass and the slimmer Visoflex. The M3 and the CL fit nicely in my anorak ,but the LTM collapsible summicron was easier to store than the more recent one but some of the point of a small and lightweight camera ...
