AlanJW Posted May 29, 2014 Share #1 Posted May 29, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I know this has zero to do with image quality, but I have one silver M lens (50mm Summilux) and have been fiddling with it on the T. IMHO, the silver lens and aluminum T are a beautiful couple. I have thought about selling this lens, but it may spend a good deal of time on the T. Welcome, dear visitor!

digitalfx Posted May 29, 2014 Share #2 Posted May 29, 2014 Looks great! Now we just need a silver M adapter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrisRose Posted May 29, 2014 Share #3 Posted May 29, 2014 I think the black adapter goes well with the black evf - just gotta get a black leica dot on there and it's perfect Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenWithAVee Posted May 29, 2014 Share #4 Posted May 29, 2014 No, it won't take better photographs than a black lens. But it does look fantastic. Makes me wish they had put out silver T lenses. Or maybe they're just waiting to put those out so those of us that bought silver bodies can upgrade to silver lenses later... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjb Posted May 30, 2014 Share #5 Posted May 30, 2014 Now add the black T-Snap, and maybe the black wrist strap, and admire the remarkable combination of art and design. When I visited the Leica shop earlier this month, they attached their silver 50mm-lux demo to the T and handed it to me to examine...and I have to admit that I didn't want to give it back!

AlanJW Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share #10 Posted June 4, 2014 Looks gorgeous. Pity here is no silver m adaptor ....How are the pictures with the 50mm Summilux (any links to your pics) Thanks The 50 Summilux does well, though focusing consistently is taking some practice.

soundsgoodsg Posted June 7, 2014 Share #11 Posted June 7, 2014 I have a T with a summilux 50mm that is firmware 1.1: does your T read the aperture setting of your lens? Mine displays f0.0 Just had a peek at the EXIF on your images, and the aperture is listed as f0 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikasmg Posted June 7, 2014 Share #12 Posted June 7, 2014 There is no way for an M lens aperture to be communicated to the camera - just the lens focal length. The adapter only reads the 6 bit black and white coding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanJW Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share #13 Posted June 7, 2014 I have a T with a summilux 50mm that is firmware 1.1: does your T read the aperture setting of your lens? Mine displays f0.0 Just had a peek at the EXIF on your images, and the aperture is listed as f0 All of my M lenses are being read as f/0. I understand that there is no f/stop approximation like there is on the M (240), but since the adapter is reading the 6 bit codes, it could at least report all the lens detail that is reportable.
