canica Posted November 15, 2009 Share #1 Posted November 15, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I had 50mm Summicron-R with my AF-Confirm EOS Adaptor and 5D Mark II, without LiveViewer I can take photo with quite accuracy photos (even I took pictures with children). Recently, I used 50mm Summilux-L and I like the bokeh very much, so I tried to find 50mm Summilux-R for my EOS. Luckily the seller let me try before buy, but I found that I can’t have such accuracy level, specailly with f1.4, even I used f1.8 – f4.0. Is that because my Summicron-R was made by Canada and Summilux made by Germany? Or Summilux can’t use AF-Confirm EOS Adaptor without high accuracy level? Please help…..

Jamie Roberts Posted November 16, 2009 Share #6 Posted November 16, 2009 I used the HappyPK confirming focus adapters (eBay $75 or so) with my 5d and 1ds2 all the time with my Summilux 50 R and 80R. I had no problems using the confirmation, even wide open (though it's impossible, really, to actually focus given the non-focus-priority screens the Canons have, even the upgraded screens).

cnguyen Posted November 22, 2009 Share #7 Posted November 22, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I use the Fotodiox adapter I bought from Ebay for $137 and it's great for critical focusing. I shoot mostly wide open on all my R lenses so you can tell whether the adapter will do the job or not. The $25 one will do if you shoot f8 all the time. By the way I wouldn't trust the Canon AF confirm so much it has pretty wide tolerances I use my eyesfor contrast focusing most of the time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got one from Fotodiox and the contacts fell of the the adpater before I could use it twice. They were very poorly glued on. BTW I use a 90mm Emarit R on Canon with an adapter that has no FC and it work very well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I mentioned, it's quite ok even I used f2.0 taking photos with my 3-years old son. Recently, I bought EMF Leica-R Adaptor. The good news is it can show your exact aperture value. Of course, you need to perform simple setup before that. Rgds, canica Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
atufte Posted December 9, 2009 Share #10 Posted December 9, 2009 This is the best conversion for Leica R to EOS there is, after this conversion it is even more rugged than a original Leica R lens on a R camera because of the thicker mount of the Leitax, it's also 100% correct thickness, so all of my lenses work prefect, (which is not the case with adapters) Leica lens for Canon cameras + this and you will have the right focal length, microadjustment ++ for each lens... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/EURO-ETTL-AF-Confirm-Programmable-Chip-for-Canon-EOS_W0QQitemZ260516106765QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLens_Accessories?hash=item3ca7f8520d I really recommend this setup for all Leica R - EOS users...
