John;
I could see the value in it, sure. If the Leica owner had a need for a
180/2 lens and Leica's was either non-existent or prohibitively
expensive, then why not have the Zuiko (acknowledged as one of the best
of this class lens) altered for a relative pittance. If the need is
there, find a way.
How about this: as I've mentioned before, I know of someone who has a
250/2 Zuiko which has been altered to fit on his .... Mamiya 645.
