15mm adapter

Can I leave my 15/4.5 attached to the screwmount/M mount adapter, or is it best to always put the adapter on the camera first and then screw on the 15?

Thanks and happy holidays

Clint

I keep mine on all the time. In fact, I have an adapter on every lens I own.

Me too, my LTM lenses each have their own adaptor. You can do it either way though, I just think it is faster and easier to change lenes with an M mount camera than LTM one.

I leave my adapters on my lenses. I just bought three new lenses; I fear I'll have to get three more adapters. Leaving them on the lenses is simply so much faster than fiddling first with the bayonetting (?) the adapter on and then still having to screw on the LTM lens. The whole point of the M-bayonet is that it's so much simpler for switching lenses.
