MarkP Posted April 26, 2014 Share #1 Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) I have used the R to NEX Speed Boost adapter for the 2.0/35 Summicron on my nephew's Nex-7 which keeps it as a 35mm (rather than a 50) but boosts the speed to f1.4 with very impressive results. Metabones® So a Metabones M to T Speed Booster would allow one to use M lenses at their intended focal length but a stop faster. On the Leica T, with such an adapter, a 1.4/35 Summilux FLE becomes a 1.0/35, a 1.4/50 Summilux becomes a 1.0/50, and a 0.95/50 Noctilux becomes a....you do the calculation..... Any bet it would also be cheaper than the Leica M to T adapter. Edited April 26, 2014 by MarkP 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

imants Posted April 26, 2014 Share #2 Posted April 26, 2014 I am sure metabones will come to the party 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter H Posted April 26, 2014 Share #3 Posted April 26, 2014 ........ a 0.95/50 Noctilux becomes a....you do the calculation..... ............. I've worked it out and unless I'm mistaken, if you stack a couple of speed boost adapters to a Noctilux at a reasonably high iso setting you'll be able to take a photo of tomorrow afternoon. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you fit the same adapters backwards you'll be able to take a photo of yesterday afternoon. Edited April 26, 2014 by MarkP 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyoung Posted April 26, 2014 Share #5 Posted April 26, 2014 There are no speedbooster adapters for M to anything as far as I know, no room in such a thin adapter. They only come for slr lenses, and most seem to say you lose corner sharpness, whats the point of that for such great lenses. Gerry Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
