Hi Veland ....

That was a great idea and thanks. I checked out the CLA-4 at a downtown
camera shop and discovered, for the first time in 34 years, that my late
1960s 35/1.4 Leica M wide angle takes a 41mm thread. I had always believed
it to be a 42.5mm thread. The CLA-1 adaptor is a 41mm thread [stepped up to
43mm] and fitted perfectly. However, the front to back distance of the
adaptor is ~ 1.25" and would result in significant vignetting.

I am now back on the search trail for a 41mm stepup ring. This is another
odd ball size!
