Ahhh - LTM = Leica Thread Mount, yes? I looked on SRB's web site but they don't list an M39 lens onto a K body. It may be possible as Bob says. More info: www.srb.co.uk Click on 'adaptors' at left, but I notice that the 'view adaptor price list' link is not working. Instead, download the 'adaptor price list PDF' and look at that. Page 7 lists the available body / lens adaptors. HTH Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________
