so i picked up this (link below) lens a little while back (its currently waiting for me at my apartment in boston), and i wanted to order an adapter for it so that when i get back in two weeks, i can test it out.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rt=nc&nma=true&item=180589166953&si=jftqrn%252FxB9i1is1uTiKlwz1xcSE%253D&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT

(that's the link to the ebay auction of the lens i bought)

I'm trying to attach it to a canon EF mount, but i would like to attach it to an M42 mount as well. The problem is i dont know which adapter(s) to buy since i am not sure which type of M39 thread the lens has.

can anyone help me?

PS- i know i won't be able to get infinity focus out of this lens, but i intend to use it as a macro lens. at least, until i obtain a rangefinder body Wink

Juts get a ZENIT M39 -> EF mount adapter, so your M39 (Leica thread mount, L39)
lens can mount to your EF-mount EOS camera(s). You can find it on eBay.

But the focus range of your M39(L39) lens on EF camera is very limited AFIAK.
If your body is a Nikon, you can find M39 (L39) -> F adapter on eBay too.

good luck
