Hi!

Does anybody know if this lens:
Enna Tele-Ennaston C 3,5/135mm (M39) f. Braun Paxette
can be used at an LTM rangefinder?

In other words, is the Braun Paxette M39 the same mount as the Leica M39?

Thanks,
Carsten

OK, I have found some information.

No! Lenses for a Braun Paxette cannot be used at an LTM rangefinder, despite the M39 mount. Sad

See here:

Well, another proof that incompatible mounts are not a modern development.

Leica M39 (39mm) mount was used for SLR as well as rangefinder..

Not a bad strategy... Use 39mm extension tube to fit SLR lenses on rangefinder... Smile Twisted Evil
