ChiILX1 Posted March 26, 2011 Share #21 Â Posted March 26, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just an idea (perhaps for the customizer JeTexas) wouldn't it be cool to have an adapter that looked like a Leica M lens on the outside in both form and writing / etc.? Maybe a 24 or 35mm elmarit? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeTexas Posted March 28, 2011 Share #22 Â Posted March 28, 2011 Just an idea (perhaps for the customizer JeTexas) wouldn't it be cool to have an adapter that looked like a Leica M lens on the outside in both form and writing / etc.? Maybe a 24 or 35mm elmarit? Â I actually procured a 90mm and a 135mm Wetzlar to see if I could use real Leica glass or parts to build an adapter or converter. The 39mm diameter makes them far too narrow. I'd have to just cut a bunch of larger lenses up and piece parts together to make it look similar in style, but no matter what, it will be much fatter than an M lens.

hmisbell Posted May 5, 2011 Share #23 Â Posted May 5, 2011 Simplest is invariably best. I got my X1 adapter from SK Grimes (Adam Dau) about 5 or 6 weeks ago and with the addition of a UV filter as a lens protector and an easy on/off lens cap I am one exceedingly happy camper.

Beyder28 Posted May 8, 2011 Share #24 Â Posted May 8, 2011 Can someone please tell me the advantage of the vented lens hood? Also, does anyone see a real life difference in their pics when they use a UV filter for their X1? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiILX1 Posted May 8, 2011 Share #25 Â Posted May 8, 2011 The advantage of the vented lens hood- the lens hood prevents the glare that occurs when sun hits the lens at the exact angles the hood prevents. The vent allows for you to see through it with your optical viewfinder, and reduces wind resistance in your biplane. Â No difference with the UV filter- it's to protect the lens.
