Now, because many lenses have a greater-than 28.8mm flange-to-film distance, they can be theoretically adapted to the LTM mount via an adapter. It can be a fun pastime to collect older low-cost LTM lenses that are 'lesser-known' that the original Leica lenses themselves. Some were made by the Soviets, some in East Germany, some in Germany, some in England, some in Japan, some in China, and even some in Scotland. That means that any LTM lens should work just fine.
The second is that because the camera uses the LTM, it has a 28.8mm lens flange-to-film distance. The first is that because of the lack of any time of focusing aid, you can only focus a lens on this camera by 'scale' which means literally assessing the distance to your subject and setting the lens' distance scale to match. In order to use any lens effectively on the Bessa L, two things must ye know. It is literally a light-tight box with metering. I knew (or thought) that the flange to film plane distance of my Barnack style rangefinders (a Canon and a now-deceased Voigtlander) was about 24mm, so affixing the Lumenbox lens to a drilled out body cap might work.The Bessa L is a Leica-Thread-Mount (LTM) camera that possesses neither rangefinder nor viewfinder of any kind.
Jorge was kind enough to include two Lumenbox lenses gratis with my Lumenbox order one a 27mm, the other a 50mm. 5 Frames… With a Lumenbox lens and Rollei Retro 400S (35mm format / EI 400 / Voigtlander Bessa L) – by Sonny Rosenberg I wondered what the results might be like using conventional film and the ability to shoot more than one frame at a time that a more conventional camera would give. While the Lumenbox utilizes dampened black and white photo paper and long exposures to achieve its self-developing chromatic paper negatives.
