Took a sonnar lens from 1937, had a custom lens adapter made (m42) rear mount, and this is now def. a centerpiece of my small collection.

I guess for lens purists it's a bastardization of a lens-- not the leica direct mount--but the flektoskop attachement made it unusable for most purposes. Nothing was destroyed in the process as the original flektoshop still threads on.

I personally think the custom adapter gives it a sexier look.

Hello, please PM me preferably if/when you're about to sell this "bastardized beauty" in the future. Many thanks

(Or we can do some barter once but I presume it's your aluminium GF now and you're currently fallen in love)
