Advertisement Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 Hi Hank Taylor, Take a look here Adapter M to R #14167. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jaapv Posted April 8, 2010 Share #2 Posted April 8, 2010 That one is for the use of Visoflex lenses on the SL or any other R mount camera. Normal M lenses will not focus to infinity with normal M lenses: macro only. I do use the lens head of my TE 135 on the Universalschnecke and this adapter on my DMR, but it is not very practical.

jpattison Posted April 8, 2010 Share #3 Posted April 8, 2010 However, if you get a #22228 M to R adapter, (M=body, R = lens) you can use your R lenses on an M body, including the shift lenses! Zone focus only, and shut down metering, of course. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted April 8, 2010 Share #4 Posted April 8, 2010 But don't buy a Chinese clone- focussing wil be seriously off on the scale and it will not be able to focus to infinity Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spydrxx Posted April 8, 2010 Share #5 Posted April 8, 2010 I use this one occasionally on my R8, as well as a Cameraquest one (on my Nikon DSLR), principally to shoot with my Elmarit 90/2.8, Tele Elmar 135/4, and when I still owned it the Elmar 65/3.5 lensheads, and of course the Telyt gear for the M. Metering is stopped down, everything manual here, including diaphragm, so not a convenient as an R lens. This adapter is for lensheads in the proper focusing mount for use on the Visoflex...so you don't get infinity focus with the normal stuff (below 65mm). You can still use them, but it will have the effect of using extension tubes on them and you will be VERY near the object you are focusing on.

I suspect that any finder you mount, the lens would obstrude a great part of it... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
