Adapter for Leica Summicron-R 35mm f/2 and Leica 90mm f/2.8to use on M8


Recommended Posts

90 mm R on M8 is madness, even on F11 you will not have enough DOF to guestimate distances. Remember that even the scales on the R lenses might not be as accurate as they are on M lenses.

 

35mm is on the edge of being useable without rangefinder coupling, but surely not wide open.

 

The 19mm R lens I have is about the only one I can really use with the M8.

 

If you could have live preview to focus like with the M 240 it would be an other matter.

You could possibly adapt to a viso iii and use that way. However - you will lose infinity focus

 

All in all a bad idea. Sell the lenses and buy m ones. Or buy an sl to use the R lenses.

 

Better yet - buy some folm and have fun
