k-hawinkler Posted September 23, 2012 Share #1 Posted September 23, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Last night, when taking photos of the moon, I noticed that I could focus the APO-Telyt-R 280/4 with the NEX-5N, then switch that camera with the NEX-7 and the lens was still correctly focused. So in anticipation of the Leica M with focus peaking and magnification, why not try the same with the NEX-5N and the M9 and throw in a couple APO-Extender-R. Here goes: NEX-5N + E-R adapter + APO-EXTENDER-R( 2+1.4 )x + APO-TELYT-R 1:4/280, focus with focus peaking / magnification: Welcome, dear visitor!

Keep focus as is, just swap camera and adapter, M9 + M-R adapter + APO-EXTENDER-R( 2+1.4 )x + APO-TELYT-R 1:4/280 Obviously, the NEX-5N has an APS-C sensor whereas the M9 has a FF one, therefore the different angles of view. I think this is very encouraging, considering that I have only very cheap adapters with just a little too much play. So, the M9 image is just slightly out of focus. That superfluous play never seemed to matter before, but, I finally have a reason to buy the best, more expensive adapters that fit precisely.

Fascinating little project Pete. I could try that with 'da boids'. What's that bird in New Zealand that evades its enemies by staying vewy vewy still?

k-hawinkler Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share #4 Posted October 4, 2012 So, I got NOVOFLEX adapters that fit precisely and it was a piece of cake to first focus with the Sony NEX-7, then swap camera and adapter with the Leica M9 and another adapter. Here is an example shot: NEX-7 + NOVOFLEX E-R adapter + APO-TELYT-R 1:4/280 + UV filter, APS-C sensor Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! M9 + NOVOFLEX M-R adapter + APO-TELYT-R 1:4/280 + UV filter, FF sensor 100% crop of the M9 image: Focusing in this way seems to work exceedingly well. Of course, it's inconvenient if one is pressed for time. However, this is the first time I have been able to really use a Leica camera with a Leica R-lens. Provided the new Leica M exceeds the M9 in every performance metric, including excellence of colors, I am looking forward to use the M with all my lenses of various makes.
