SL2S + Leica Apo-Summicron-M 1:2/90 ASPH

Hi All SL-users! I have had my SL for some months and used mostly M-R lenses with the adapers and the 24-90 Zoom which covers most situations. The system is heavy, but once you get used to it, -you start wondering why not use lenses of your 645 cameras:)? I have the Contax 645 lenses and wonder if anyone has found suitable adapter to use these on the SL - even if the AF and some other functions might be lost? Some time back there were still companies which made tailor-made adapters, but I have learned that we are maybe past those times?;) However, there are individuals who are keen to solve problems and I remember someone making an AF-unit of Nikon's 16A-teleconverter, which was not that difficult after all... Even the Photokina exhibition might have revealed something on this front? So, -please, share any of your experience and of this topic? if there are any:)? br Hans

Hello, Before I start breaking or bending something, is the old 22228 R-to-M adapter (ie. the one that was originally made for Leicina super8 camera) compatible with M-adapter-L? Thanks S.

I recently purchased an 240 M-P and have been very happy with this camera for RF shooting with my Leica M lenses. I have many Minolta and Sony lenses that I use on a Sony A99 SLR, and was going to sell some of it because most of my shooting over the past few years has been with RF gear, mostly the Leica M5 for film and the M8 for digital. But I would like to explore the use of some of the better A-mount lenses, including a Minolta 200 2.8 AP0 lens on my M 240 with an adapter for this mount. My questions are, has anyone in the forum used the Novaflex adapter with Minolta or Sony A-mount lenses on the M240 or SL? And before I invest in some longer range Leica R lens options, do you feel the image quality with Minolta glass on Leica cameras is comparable to results obtained with Leica R glass? My main interest is in the telephoto range performance, because I have excellent M-lenses in the 21mm to 90mm range. I would be using the longer range lenses mostly for landscape/seascape photos and occasionally for environmental portraits.

Hello all, I use the macro-elmar 90mm combined with old the macro adapter (old model with goggles 14409) Will I be able to achieve greater magnification if I use rings such as oufro or cheaper alternatives stacked on the macro adapter ? Of course I would lose RF coupling but I would use LV then. Any opinion on these rings ? https://www.kentfaith.fr/search_m36291/KF06.321_adaptateur-leica-m-à-adaptateur-leica-m-mount-m-ext-10mm I see there are 2 versions : 8mm or 10mm extensions. Which one(s) to choose in order to achieve 1:2 or even 1:1 magnification on the macro-elmar + adapter with goggles ? Thanks !

Does anyone know of a way to adapt Fujifilm GF (G-mount) lenses for use on an SL2?

APOLOGIES IF THIS HAS BEEN ASKED BEFORE. Having disposed of my M10-P and 50mm Summilux ( why did I sell this beautiful lens ) to buy another S body ( I had an S 006 it sold it to try the Phase One system ) I use a 1950s M3 and 50mm Elmar Collapsible + Elmar 90mm. Leica Q ( IMHO best single lens camera ever made) the original - I’ve never seen the need to change it. And now a S (007) and 70mm lens - a beautiful combination and stunning IQ But I am looking at other lenses for my S - particularly some of the L Mount lenses with different widths and speeds I know you can buy a converter which adapts some of the Hassie C and Mamiya 645 lenses to the S Body and an adapter for using S lenses on SL bodies. I have tried Leica stores, MPB and eBay but is there an adapter to allow SL lenses on S bodies? I know I have wide angle and macro on the Q but I want to make use of the larger sensor and carrying multiple bodies is not the easiest.
