I'm considering to buy me a Leica T as a second camera for street photography.

I owe already a Nikon D800 with several nikon and sigma full frame lenses.

Is there a possibility mounting these lenses on the Leica T?  If so, are there limitations?

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

As far as I know, you can mount Nikon lens on the T. I believe there is a Nikon to T adapter, both for F and G lens. The alternate is to get a Nikon to M adapter and use it with the Leica M to T adapter. You lose autofocus and aperture data.

Thanks for fb!

I googled it but didn't find a Nikon adapter for the Leica T.

If i use 2 adapters as suggested, will there be an impact on focusing caused by the increased sickness?

Is the lose of aperture data limited to the metadata and will the leica be able to send the chosen aperture to the lens? The lose of autofocus is no real problem.

I suppose the FR function will continue to work as with the nikon body?

The body won't be able to adjust the Lens it's aperture, so only posible with lenses where the aperture is set on the lens, not electronically via the Nikon body.

You can check the Novoflex website http://www.novoflex.com for an T to Nikon adapter. I use the Novoflex T to R adapter along with a Makro-Elmarit R 60. It works well.
