The lenses hav a leica thread on them so you can use them in a standard
ENLARGER. They were not designed, nor do they work on a Leica type camera.
The idea was that compared to a Leica, they were a "poor man's" camera.
You could save a lot of money by using the same lens for the enlarger.
Remember that this was long before the days of Vivtar and Soligar and
Kodak still sold German lenses. :-)
