[Leica] EOS Leica C/Y and M42

[douglas.sharp at gmx.de (Douglas Sharp)]

With all the recent discussion about EOS/Leica adapters.

Here's a selection of 3 versions, unfortunately I don't have a 
Cameraquest or Fotodiox as a comparison. According to what I've read and 
heard they are more than pretty good.

I believe Bob Shell and Z?rkendorfer produce C/Y adapters too.

I wonder when Mr. K will present us with an aperture emulating adapter 
for Leica R to EOS ?? Now that would be useful.

Talking of CV, does anyone know of a good centre graduated filter for 
the 12mm Ultra-Wide? Whenthe 12 came out the filter adapter was released 
with the comment that a grad was soon to follow, later the filter was 
withdrawn as being not good enough, at least from what I heard from a 
couple of people close to Ringfoto here in Germany.

cheers
Douglas
