The mount was adopted on many [[Leica copy|Leica copies]] and other 35mm [[rangefinder camera]]s. |

+ | The Leica mount is precisely '''M39 × 1/26"''' — i.e. 39mm diameter and 26 threads per inch — with 28.8mm film-to-flange distance and [[rangefinder (device)|rangefinder]] coupling. Very early [[Canon]] (J mount) used an incompatible '''M39 × 1/24"''' screw mount, 39mm in diameter but with 24 threads per inch.<REF> [http://global.canon/en/c-museum/product/film4.html This page of the Canon Camera Museum] - Spec section. </REF> (It has been said that early Soviet cameras used "M39 × 1", with 1 mm thread, but no conclusive evidence has been provided so far.)<REF> See for example [https://web.archive.org/web/20090228083144/http://www.kyphoto.com/classics/forum/messages/6790/12397.html this forum thread at kyphoto.com] (archived). [https://web.archive.org/web/20120111113052/http://sovietcamera.110mb.com/fed1/ This page at Sovietcamera] (archived) discusses lens compatibility on early Fed and Zorki and says that "The Leica screw mount is 39mm × 26 tpi (threads per inch) thread of the screw-mount Leica. All the Soviet cameras with 39mm screw mount are the same as Leica." </REF> | ||
− | The | + | The film-to-flange distance was not standardized on very early Leica (until 1931)<REF> [https://web.archive.org/web/20140219203640/http://www.ph.utexas.edu/~yue/misc/LeicaLTM.html This page by Andrew Yue] (archived). </REF> and early [[Fed]] and [[Zorki]] (until the early postwar years).<REF> [https://web.archive.org/web/20120111113052/http://sovietcamera.110mb.com/fed1/ This page at Sovietcamera] (archived). </REF> These cameras were individually matched to their lenses, by way of shims, and this may cause compatibility problems. |

+ | * [[Canon II/III/IV|Canon rangefinders]] | ||
+ | * [[Cosina]] Voigtländer [[Bessa]] | ||
+ | * the Soviet [[Zorki]], [[FED]], [[Leningrad]] and [[Drug]] | ||
+ | * the British [[Corfield]] [[Periflex]] and [[Reid]] | ||
+ | |||
+ | Some manufacturers made cameras and lenses with a 39mm screw mount completely incompatible with the Leica one, because of the different film-to-flange distance. Four such systems are: | ||

Latest revision as of 19:25, 4 May 2024
The 39mm screw mount — also called Leica Thread Mount (LTM ), Leica Screw Mount (LSM), or M39 — was introduced by Leica with the model I (C), and used on all the Leica models until the bayonet mount M3. The mount was adopted on many Leica copies and other 35mm rangefinder cameras.

Description
The Leica mount is precisely M39 × 1/26" — i.e. 39mm diameter and 26 threads per inch — with 28.8mm film-to-flange distance and rangefinder coupling. Very early Canon (J mount) used an incompatible M39 × 1/24" screw mount, 39mm in diameter but with 24 threads per inch.[1] (It has been said that early Soviet cameras used "M39 × 1", with 1 mm thread, but no conclusive evidence has been provided so far.)[2]
The film-to-flange distance was not standardized on very early Leica (until 1931)[3] and early Fed and Zorki (until the early postwar years).[4] These cameras were individually matched to their lenses, by way of shims, and this may cause compatibility problems.
The most important rangefinder camera bodies using the Leica screw mount are:
- Leica I / II / III
- Canon rangefinders
- Cosina Voigtländer Bessa
- the Soviet Zorki, FED, Leningrad and Drug
- the British Corfield Periflex and Reid
Some manufacturers made cameras and lenses with a 39mm screw mount completely incompatible with the Leica one, because of the different film-to-flange distance. Four such systems are:
- the Braun Paxette
- early models of the Soviet Zenit
- the Great Wall DF Chinese SLR
- Soviet half-frame Chajka 2, 3 and 2m models
(Further, screwmount lenses by Meopta may at first appear to be for the Leica; however, these have 38mm screw thread and are instead for the Opema.)
List
We will attempt to make a list of 39mm screw lenses. These are arranged alphabetically by company name, or by brand name when the manufacturer is unknown.
All the lenses in this list are genuine Leica mount lenses, or at least were advertised as such by reputable dealers. Today some merchants convert old and rare lenses into Leica mount. Please do not include these converted lenses in the list.

Askania
A surprisingly long Fern-Achromat TE-N/PL 16/925mm f/16 has been sold by Auction Breker Köln on 01/10/2005. It was mounted on a reflex housing looking like the Astro Identoskop. A table engraved indicated the other lenses:

- LR-T 4/480mm
- TE-N 11/600mm
- TE-N/PL 16/925mm
- EX-T 22/1250mm
- EX-T/PL 32/2000mm
Probably for military use only.
Astro Berlin
Astro Berlin seems to have made some lenses with a genuine Leica mount. Today, many sellers are adapting Astro lenses to the Leica mount, often assembling them with the rear barrel of a 50/3.5 Elmar.

- Prominar 35mm f/2.8, black and chrome, surely the same lens as on the Kallowide
- Prominar 100mm f/2, black and chrome
- Prominar 200mm f/2.8, black and chrome, for use on a reflex housing, announced but perhaps never sold
The Prominar 7.5cm f/3.5 and 7.3cm f/3.5 for Leica dating from the late 1940s are not marked as made by Kowa. They are actually similar to the Sun Sola, and were certainly manufactured by Sun or its predecessor. See K.O.L. and Sun lenses in Leica screw mount.
Kristall
A Kristall Krinar Anastigmat 50mm f/3.5 collapsible lens is known in Leica screw mount. It was made for the Kristall Italian Leica copy.
Kyōei / Acall

Chiyoda Kōgaku/ Minolta
Chiyoda Kōgaku, later renamed Minolta, made a range of Leica screw lenses for its Minolta 35 series camera, a Leica copy made between 1947 and 1958. Chiyoko is a shortened version of the name (CHIYOda KOgaku):
- 3.5cm f/3.5 Rokkor, chrome, 4 elements/3 groups, marked "CHIYOKO"
- 3.5cm f/1.8 Super Rokkor, black and chrome (?), 6 elements/ 4 groups
- 45mm f/2.8 Super Rokkor, chrome, 5 elements/3 groups, marked "Chiyoko"
- 50mm f/4.5 Rokkor, chrome, marked "Chiyoko", prototype only[41]

Minolta also made a special macro lens in that mount at the time of the Rokkor SLR lenses:
- 50/3.5 QF-Rokkor macro lens, not rangefinder coupled, part of the Minolta MC/MD lens system
Minolta's last screw mount lens was made in a limited edition:
- 28/3.5 G-Rokkor, chrome, 2000 made, 1998, same lens as for the Minolta TC-1
Misuzu Kōgaku
The Altanon 5cm f/2, ostensibly made by Misuzu Kōgaku, was mounted on the Alta camera made by the same company. It was actually a rebadged version of the Tanar 5cm f/2 by Tanaka. An Altanon 5cm f/3.5 was also announced but perhaps never sold; it was certainly a continuation of the Lena-Q.C and Reise-Q.C.
See the page on the Alta for more details.
MS Optical R&D
Also named Miyazaki Kōgaku, this company makes:
- MS-Mode-S 50/1.3 lens, for both Leica and Nikon S; see MS Optical R&D.
- MS-Mode-AH Apoqualia 50/3.5 lens, for Leica; see MS Optical R&D.
National Optical Company
NOC of Leicester, England, was a daughter company of Taylor,Taylor & Hobson (also located in Leicester), created to deal with high product demand during the Second World War.
- 2"/2 Anastigmat, collapsible, focusing tab, all chrome,is based on the "Speed Panchro" design of Horace W. Lee (of Leicester)and looks similar to the collapsible Taylor & Hobson 2"/2 Anastigmat which was the standard lens fitted to the Reid camera.They use a similar barrel and focussing mount made by Cook & Perkins, but it is not a "clone" of this lens and is more akin to the T,T,& H Amotal. All known serial numbers start 354xxx, the last 3 digits (xxx) being engraved on the lens barrel of each lens.Could this mean that each lens cell was indiviually matched to a barrel?.One unusual feature of the National Optical Co.2"/2 Anastigmat is that unlike most camera lenses with depth of field scale the N.O.C has a central depth of field index of "0" rather than the usual plain index mark.
British and U.S.patent numbers are engraved on each barrel.
- 105/3.5 Trinol Anastimat, chrome and black, or black with chrome mount, mount marked Stewartry and Made in Scotland, with Stewartry zoom frame finder
The Trinol lens head is made by National Optical Company and this is engraved on the lens barrel in at least some examples, but not on the front.

Reise
The Reise-Q.C 5cm f/3.5 collapsible lens made by Reise was mounted on the Chiyoca camera (see the description there).
Riken / Ricoh
Riken, predecessor of Ricoh, announced the Riken No.1 Leica-type 3×4cm camera in 1938; its Riken 50mm f/3.5 lens perhaps had an interchangeable Leica mount, but nothing is confirmed so far. The camera was finally released as the Gokoku; it normally has a fixed lens, but at least one example is known with a Leica-mount Ofunar 50mm f/3.5, which was perhaps not made by Riken but by Tomioka or Ōfuna. Finally, the Neutar 50mm f/3.5 lens mounted on the Ricohl IIB normally has a slightly different screw mount, incompatible with the Leica, but at least one example is known in standard Leica mount. See Gokoku and Ricohl for these three lenses.
In the late 1990s, Ricoh made two lenses in Leica screw mount, in limited editions:
- 21/3.5 GR, 1000 made in chrome and 700 in black, 1999, same lens as the Ricoh GR21
- 28/2.8 GR, 2000 made in chrome and 1000 in black, 1997, same lens as the Ricoh GR1

Taylor, Taylor & Hobson
Taylor, Taylor & Hobson made the collapsible 2" f:2 Anastigmat as the standard lens for the Reid British Leica copy.
They also made a rigid 2" f/2 Cooke Amotal Anastigmat lens for the Bell & Howell Foton camera. Some of them appear in Leica screw mount, due to Peerless(US) arranging for an Italian firm to mount them in rather crude Leica screw mounts so that they could fit them to Leica camera imports and undercut the Leica camera prices fixed by Leitz, who could only fix the prices of Leica cameras fitted with Leica lenses.
See also the lenses made by TT&H subsidiary National Optical Company.
Telesar
Marked Telesar; maker unknown.
Tōkyō Kōgaku
(State, Simlar and Topcor lenses.)
See Tōkyō Kōgaku lenses in Leica screw mount.
Tomioka
The Lausar 5cm f/4.5 and 5cm f/3.5 collapsible lenses of the Lausar and Baika cameras are certainly interchangeable with Leica screw mount. The Ofunar 50mm f/3.5 found on a Gokoku with Leica mount was perhaps made by Tomioka too, or by Ōfuna (see Gokoku and Ricohl).
In the late 1950s, Tomioka was certainly the supplier of the Yashinon and Yashikor 5cm lenses offered by Yashica on the Yashica YE and YF. It might also have supplied the 50mm Honor lenses (see the discussion there), and there is a report of a Tominon C 50/1.8 lens in Leica screw mount, said to be "similar to the Honor lens" by Zuihō.[50]
Trixar
A Trixar Anastigmat 50mm f/3.5 collapsible lens is known in Leica screw mount. It was made for the Wega Italian Leica copy.
Voigtländer

- Honor 50mm f/2
- Honor 50mm f/1.9
The 35mm and 135mm lenses do not display Zuihō's name, and were perhaps unrelated:
- Honor or W.Honor 35mm f/3.5
- Honor 135mm f/3.5
