'No lens connected' M240


Recommended Posts

The Jinfinance ones are OK for the price but some have reported non-pick up of code. I have found that unlike the M9, where silver is a perfectly acceptable substitute for white, for zero codes the M240 likes white. I have had no problems myself with Jinfinance ones.

have you tried them on the M and do they read the codes? the ones I bought from china 1 worked on the M9 and neither on the M240

 

Yes I have a couple and they are fine.

This thread motivated me to go and measure my LTM adapters thicknesses:

 

I have 2xM mount and 3 LTM lenses, but no LTM camera bodies so I have three adaptors.

 

It's an imperial Mitutoyo 0-1" 0.0001" scale micrometer.

#1 - €10 Ebay/ 35 frame line lug =1.007mm (0.3940" - 1.010mm (0.3942"). Nearly parallel, closest to nominal thickness. This is the one that lives on my Jupiter-12.

#2 - €10 Ebay 28 Frame line Lug = 1.010mm (0.3942" - 1.027mm (0.3948") Flanges are less parallel. I use this one on the Voigtländer 15.

#3 - Unknown source 28 frame line lug = 9.977mm( 0.3928") - 9.990mm (0.3933") ( This one won't latch on the bodies anti rotation (lens release) widget. It is tight enough that it doesnt fall off, it lives on a Canon 28 F2.8 which I don't like.

Whilst differences in thickness may create other problems (e.g., focus), I don't think it's related to the issue being raised here.

Rather a problem with precise alignment between adapter and sensor and/or "light leaks" and/or surface reflectivity - all of which seem to prevent the sensor from accurately reading the code.

You should swap them. A 15 mm lens is way more sensitive to flange-distance and alignment errors than a 35 mm lens.
