This listing is pretty much intended for new Leica users and enthusiasts. Especially those of a rangefinder persuasion. Older Leitz/Leica accessories take on a new life in the digital M models. While the Wiki data is useful it is often not detailed nor particulary useful in answering a number of "how do I ?". When Leitz went to numbers rather than the old "nickname" ids, the situation got more complex for the inexperienced and the careless. The number one cheap and amazingly accurate reference available, in my opinion, is Andrew Matheson's (the) Leica and Leicaflex Way which is useful for all Leica camera owners in most editions. I have editions 7, 8, and 9 which contain almost all M mount and screw mount accessory data that anyone would ever want. I am ignoring Leicaflex data which I seldom use. Most of the illustrations are from Leica and duplicate data furnished by Leica. Used, but good condition, copies of this almost 500 page masterwork run under $40 in the U.S., I just bought a good condition Ninth edition for less than $30. The Leica Manual is collectible, pricey and ,perhaps, a little less useful and far less comprehensive than Matheson's masterwork. But grab it if the price is right. Lastly, is the Leitz Wetzlar published General Catalogue of Photographic Equipment., my copy is the edition of 1 January 1973. It is quite detailed on Leica Stuff that was still being sold at that time. It is the only detailed listings of some Lenses that are a little unusual and small user replacable parts such as flash socket covers for all M series Leicas (e.g., twin flash socket cover for the M5 or Leicaflex code number 14 183) on page 61. This particular copy/edition lists short mount 90mm Summicrons and short mount 135mm F:2.8 Elmarits. In any event these catalogs are valuable resources for all, especially new members with little past knowledge of Leica comprehensiveness. Regards, Ron

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.

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

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 !

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.

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
