dseelig Posted April 29, 2007 Share #81 Posted April 29, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) One other thing I do not know how anyone used the o ring method of attaching a filter. I tried double sided tape seems like a good fit. I took a razor blade and trimmed the excees tape that was exposed . David Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 Hi dseelig, Take a look here CV15mm + IR/UV cut filter + firm 1.102. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jlm Posted April 30, 2007 Share #82 Posted April 30, 2007 the 13.5 adapters will ship today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
caloso Posted May 2, 2007 Share #83 Posted May 2, 2007 I just got my 2 adapters they look great thanks for your efforts Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveSee Posted May 3, 2007 Share #84 Posted May 3, 2007 I've used the nail polish as paint on seven different adapters, most have been in use for a few months now. It works great and is readily available at drugstores. Cheers, Sean Not that I'd have an issue buying nail polish, but 1.5USD/ea. of Testors enamel in white and black is working well... heh, I expect we'll have a thread soon enough comparing Testor and Boyd model paints to MaxFactor, Revlon or Uniq nail polishes Haven't priced nail polishes... is 1.5USD wasted? John, your adapter supplies in quality! Thanks. rgds, Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Yes, the O-ring works reasonably well... for the CV 15mm and 39mm filter: IIRC, the O-ring is 1 7/16 OD, 1 5/16 ID, US inches. rgds, Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

photorunner Posted May 3, 2007 Share #88 Posted May 3, 2007 Has anyone used the adapter on a CV 12+ firm 1.102? What focal length did you code the lens? What were the results with B&W 486 IR filter and without? What settings did you use on the M8 menu? What software did you use for processing RAW? Any insights you can share will be greatly appreciated. Herb Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wparsonsgisnet Posted May 3, 2007 Share #89 Posted May 3, 2007 Has anyone used the adapter on a CV 12+ firm 1.102? What focal length did you code the lens?

Any insights you can share will be greatly appreciated. Herb Herbert, wander thru the threads here. There are many posts as well as pix of wide lenses on the M8. The consensus is that you will need the Leica version of the IR-cut filters for lenses that are wider than 21. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
psquared Posted May 3, 2007 Share #90 Posted May 3, 2007 Actually, Herb is asking good questions. I would be interested in the answers, too. Maybe this needs to be a new thread. The 12mm range is not covered by the new firmware, so I don't know if the new firmware does anything for this lens, even if it's coded for WATE at 16mm. Also, if the new firmware can't correct the cyan drift and vignetting on the 12mm, then whether you put a Leica filter (Is there even plans for a 77mm filter? Do smaller filters work a la CV 15mm?) or a B+W or Heliopan filter on, should not make any difference. I don't think answers for these have been posted before.

wparsonsgisnet Posted May 3, 2007 Share #91 Posted May 3, 2007 So, I have purchased both the WATE filter adapter (and retaining ring) and the 90mm ltm adapter from John Milich. Now all I have to do is decide which lens to buy. I've got my 30% coupon, and have developed an appreciation for the WATE from Guy's pix, but I also have to fund my video hardware budget. Now I know why the day job keeps getting in the way. I'm not going to tell the bride when I go shopping for the nail polish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean_reid Posted May 3, 2007 Share #93 Posted May 3, 2007 It will come to pass that we will see someone in the drug store with Goth nail polish bottles in one hand and a pack of Sharpies in the other. And, in a moment of recognition, we will immediately ask him or her how he or she likes the M8. In fact, the lore will come to be such that a person who doesn't own these things will come to be thought of as "just a Leica digital dilettante". <G> Sean Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a possible solution. I said to my dear wife that I needed more soft pouches to hold things like the 21mm viewfinder, and the kenko polarizer shoe mount thingy... and she said......... no problem, I can buy some more stuff at Tiffany and they come with a free pouch !! Arrgghh!!! Keep my mouth shut why don't I ???? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

usm Posted May 9, 2007 Share #97 Posted May 9, 2007 To jlm! You did a really good job!!! I just got the adapter for the CV15mm and it works very smooth. Thanks! Mario Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_tribble Posted May 19, 2007 Share #98 Posted May 19, 2007 Got the jlm mount, got the nail varnish, got the 39mm Leica IR Cut Filter, got a little rubber ring, got a used CV 15mm and hey - it works! Huge kudos to John for his technical skills and willingness to share with us + MANY thanks to all for their pioneer spirit... Took a shot in the office at home... fully open, hande held at 1/11th of a second. Can't be bad. SO pleased with the results. Hadn't noticed that my toe was in shot - what a nice wide lens...

Co Morriën Contact John Milich - jm@milich.com - the adaptor works perfectly - lovely piece of clean engineering in it's own right. I used Boots (UK pharmacy) own brand nail varnish. Sure others work.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
