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 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 !

Hi, I am very interested to know if there is any mount adapter (with electronic pins if its posible) for using Fujifilm or Sony alpha lenses. I want to buy the Leica CL but their lens offer is quite expensive and Fujifilm has a wider lens offer and pretty much afordable.

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 the one that was originally made for Leicina super8 camera) compatible with M-adapter-L? Thanks S.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 wonder if anyone can clear up some misunderstandings about adaptors for the Leica T. I have just recently purchased a very good second hand T(Type 701) Vario-Elmarit 18-56 T lens; and I am very pleased with it and like the touch screen operation. I have also upgraded the firmware to V1.61. There is the Leica M to T Lens Mount Adapter 18771 for mounting M lenses to the T. Then there is the Leica R-Adapter M, 14642 Then there is the R-adapter L but I seem to understand that this is is used to connect M lenses to the SL mount which is different from the L mount. Finally there are all the multitude of adapters available on Amazon and Ebay. It seems though the M to T adapter would be the most sensible to buy for starters for M lenses but there are a number of R lenses also available. I was wondering what would the most cost effective solution to connect R lenses to the T mount. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks

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.
