I guess many of you have experience that it's quite awkward when you have an SLR-lens to LTM/Leica-M body adapter where both the lens and the adapter are LACKING an aperture-stopdown device.
My example are the ZEISS West lenses for the Icarex TM (or Zeiss Ikon SL706) — one cannot lock the stopdown thingy in place, the spring forces you to have your finger on it permanently unless you want to shoot wide open.
My method:
Choose the f-number 16, choose your shutter speed, activate your TTL-exposure meter, and then move your finger on the stopdown thingy until the exposure meter says «OK», and instantly then press the shutter release!
Thus I invented the LTM- or Leica-M Camera And Shutter Priority! Sort of at least
