Nice camera and a good buy. The lens does come off. Numerous other lenses were available for the Leica. It is a 39 millimeter screw mount, often just called "Leica thread mount," or "LTM." If you focus the lens to infinity, it should lock, and you can then use the little focus lever for extra grip to unscrew it. But if it's been on a long time it might be hard to remove. Don't force too hard, esxpecially if you have no other lenses anyway. The Elmar lens, while not very fast, was nice and sharp. Old Leica lenses are very easy to scratch. Be careful and don't be compulsive about wiping it. |
