paulsydaus Posted April 1, 2014 Share #1 Posted April 1, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Dear Leicaphiles, Regarding the adapter that ships with the Leica 90mm f/4 Macro Set, can this adapter only be used with that lens, or can I use the adapter as an extender for other M lenses such as the 135?

Advertisement Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Hi paulsydaus, Take a look here Leica Macro Adapter M. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
paulsydaus Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share #2 Posted April 2, 2014 Sorry I should add that this would be for use with Leica M EVF. I'm mainly interested in knowing about the mechanical compatibility and if I could do any damage by mounting other M lenses to the adapter...?

IWC Doppel Posted April 2, 2014 Share #3 Posted April 2, 2014 I'm sure the adapter viewfinder is 90mm so you won't find the glass viewfinder useful with 135 a good question though I wonder if the M240 could be used with a macro adapter that doesn't use the viewfinder Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

algrove Posted April 3, 2014 Share #5 Posted April 3, 2014 This subject is available via Search, but from what I remember from those threads the adapter you inquire about is the same thickness as the #16469. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulsydaus Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share #6 Posted April 5, 2014 @algeove, believe me I always make a point of searching before posting new threads. On this occasion nothing that answered my question came up. Perhaps a moderator can combine the threads if it's an issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulsydaus Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share #7 Posted April 5, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thanks everyone! I got the answer. It's fine to do as long as the rear element doesn't protrude outside the mount during focussing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
