Hookeye Posted April 6, 2013 Share #1 Posted April 6, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello, Friends; I was hoping I could use my hoard of old Nikon F (manual focus) lenses on my M240. I therefore bought the Rayqual Nikon F to Leica M (NF-LM v3) adapter. But my clever scheme failed disastrously. It appears to be something with this adapter that the M240 does not recognize. You can shoot perfectly well wit the Nikon lens, but only if you ignore the need to focus:rolleyes: Once you try to switch on the Live View in order to focus the lens you get an error message: No lens connected. I also have the CV12 and CV15 lenses with Milich adapters and these work fine. I tried to switch lens detection to OFF, but that did not help. A solution, anyone? Thanks, HP Welcome, dear visitor!

stuny Posted April 6, 2013 Share #3 Posted April 6, 2013 You might want to visit the dealer and see of the EVF works with that rig. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_tribble Posted April 6, 2013 Share #4 Posted April 6, 2013 If the Rayqual mount has a black finish, the sensor won't recognise it and the camera will report No Lens. Something like this has been mentioned elsewhere - the solution was to scratch the black finish off! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted April 6, 2013 Share #5 Posted April 6, 2013 There is a quick alternative to scraping the paper off. Get a roll of christmas wrapping silver sticky tape or failing that white paper Dymo tape. Stick a little bit on the flat surface of the adapter mount, around where the LED's are - no need to be accurate. You will then find the LV will fire up. See photo below of Dymo tape on my body cap pin hole lens. Silver tape would be better as it is thinner than the Dymo paper tape. Wilson Welcome, dear visitor!

Hookeye Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share #6 Posted April 6, 2013 Chris, Wilson; you are quite right. It works fine when slipping a white paper between the black adapter and the lens detector window. I wonder why it does not work with lens detection switched off, but that is only of academic interest now. Problem solved, THANKS! HP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
