Hello everybody,

After a few years without a rangefinder I found an M8 for a really good price. The first lens for it will be the CV 35mm F/2.5 C in LTM.
Now for my questions.
Reid Reviews talks about a Milich adapter that can be easily coded for the M8 (with the milled indentations) but I seem to be unable to find the place to buy it or the price. Can somebody help?

Cameraquest states that their type II adapter can also be easily coded. Does someone know how this works with that adapter? Are there also 6 indentations?

What is the correct code to use for this particular lens?

Does anyone have the lens with coded adapter for sale to make things easy for me :D

Thank you, Nick

John Milich's email address is jm-at-milich.com replace -at- with @.

John's adapters have the six pits milled into them, the type II adaptor does not.

You can see the various codes here...

I'd pick a 35mm Summarit as the code to copy.
