jto555 Posted August 4, 2015 Share #1 Posted August 4, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, I have a Tamron 300mm F2.8 manual focus lens with a Canon Eos Adaptell 2 lens mount. So I am looking to get an adaptor to mount the lens on my Leica M (240). I did a search on the Forum and did not find any recommendations. So here goes. Novoflex do not seem to do an Eos to Leica M camera version so the best I have found is: http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Roxsen-Canon-EOS-EF-mount-Lens-to-Leica-M-LM-mount-adapter-M8-M9-ME-M-Type240-/150739897726 Roxen??? I have never heard of them but cheap. http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Kipon-Canon-EOS-mount-EF-lens-to-Leica-M-LM-Adapter-M8-M9-ME-240-Ricoh-GXR-A12-/231126640035 Kipon, I have heard of them but know very little about them and still cheap. Has anybody any experience with these adaptors, or know of any better adaptors? Thanks in advance, John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pop Posted August 4, 2015 Share #2 Posted August 4, 2015 The Tamron Adaptall to Leica R adapter might do the trick in combination with a Leica R to M adapter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spydrxx Posted August 4, 2015 Share #3 Posted August 4, 2015 I used to use the same solution as Pop with my Tamron Adaptall lenses. Although I've not seen any documentation, I discovered that there are two different Adaptall to Leica R adapters, one fit my R3 just fine, the other didn't (I think it may have been made for the Leicaflex SL); the exterior diameter was slightly too large to fit under the VF overhang. Shouldn't be an issue for you as you would be using it with an R to M adapter, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJWhite Posted August 4, 2015 Share #4 Posted August 4, 2015 I use a Tamron 300 f/2.8 with the Adaptall II Canon FD mount, and then use the FD to Leica M mount adapter from Cameraquest. Works perfectly. Novoflex has a similar adapter for FD to M. Hi, I have a Tamron 300mm F2.8 manual focus lens with a Canon Eos Adaptell 2 lens mount.

jto555 Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share #5 Posted August 4, 2015 The Tamron Adaptall to Leica R adapter might do the trick in combination with a Leica R to M adapter. Thanks a million. Just to make it a bit harder. The adaptor has been glued to the lens as the locking pin on the lens was not holding the adaptor. I know, I know but was on a shoot at the time and the lens had to work! So I have to work around the Eos adaptor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted August 4, 2015 Share #6 Posted August 4, 2015 I don't know the different Canon mounts. My Tamron came with a Adaptall to FD adapter, so I use the Kipon FD-R/M to use it on my M (Typ 240). Does anyone know if there is a mechanical difference between the EOS and the FD mount? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they're completely different mount designs, also the FD used a mechanical link and EOS uses electrical contacts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sound good. I did find a Kipon Canon Eos to M adapter. How do you fine your Kipon adaptor? Would you recommend it? John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted August 4, 2015 Share #9 Posted August 4, 2015 That sound good. I did find a Kipon Canon Eos to M adapter. How do you fine your Kipon adaptor? Would you recommend it? John Yes, mine works very well. However, it does nothing else for my lens but holding it in place. There is no coupling whatsoever between lens and camera. It's just a mount. I use it with the 500mm mirror lens which is on the heavy side. Given the kind of things I photograph with that I wouldn't notice minor deviations in the mount. I'm not saying it is imprecise, but I say that I wouldn't have noticed if it was, but it looks well made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
