An adapter to mount M39x1 lenses on Leica M cameras.

There is no blank template for 6-bit code (as found on the Pentax K-Leica M adapter, for example).

The adapter is thin because it is designed specifically for M39x1/28.8 (rangefinder) lenses. It is 1mm: 28.8-27.8mm (flange focal distances).
The adapter is in the (50-75) configuration, which means it should activate the viewfinder frame lines for 50/75mm focal lengths. (28-90) and (35-135) versions are also available. I'm going to use this adapter with another adapter, so it doesn't matter to me.
Desired combination: this M39x1-Leica M adapter and the Leica-M-Sony FE/E close focus (helicoid) adapter.

Unfortunately, the M39x1-Leica M adapter fits too loosely and wobbles noticeably. Focusing slightly beyond infinity is also present. Not very good for regular use.
