Pablo - Why not buy Leica cameras designed for Leica M39 mounts? KEH Camera in Georgia currently lists nine Leica M39-mount cameras, all in a range between $499 and $218. Those aren’t exactly ‘break the bank’ prices? I continue to be highly amused by the number of UHH members who insist on using lenses from Company “A” on bodies designed by Company “B” for Company “B” lenses. Yeah, it’s cheaper. It’s cheaper not to wear shoes, too, but at the end of the day your feet get awfully sore. — Ralph

And I continue to be amused by the reading skills of UHH members - Pablo is specifically looking for a digital camera. Any digital camera that takes a Leica thread.

Various companies make adapters for mirrorless cameras, but to my knowledge only Leica makes camera bodies that take Leica M39 threaded lenses.

And I found one, albeit using an adapter. But it allows me to obtain infinity focus without the addition of (dodgy quality) glass elements.
