Nick_S Posted April 25, 2014 Share #1 Â Posted April 25, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Need to find a different name for Leica's new lens mount as the T-mount is an existing standard thread mount by Tamron from 1957 (enlarged to M42x0.75 in 1962). It is still in common use for mounting cameras to telescopes and microscopes. Â Nick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will there be any adaptor for Leica Spotting scopes? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjh Posted April 30, 2014 Share #5  Posted April 30, 2014 So maybe Tamron is making the Leica T lenses? Oops, you have inadvertently revealed the secret code, now They will be after you …  The mount in question is usually referred to as ‘T2’ (the successor of Tamron’s original T mount) and I don’t think there is any real danger of it being confused with Leica’s T-mount. I own a few T2 adapters myself and I for one was not confused in the slightest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
