Yuhau Posted February 12, 2016 Share #1  Posted February 12, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have a no brand R to T  adaptor .  I can bring up all the shooting modes  ( P, A, S and Scenes ) on the  shooting menu. Also the two dial wheel works.  While when I use a Leica brand  M to T adaptor . I can only bring out A and M mode on the shooting menu .   Am I getting a Bargain for using Non Leica adaptor ?      Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom0511 Posted February 12, 2016 Share #2 Â Posted February 12, 2016 How should S work, if the camera can not control the f-stop? I guess the third party adapter shows an option which is not really an option. SO IMO - no, no bargain but a little confusion for free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizard Posted February 12, 2016 Share #3 Â Posted February 12, 2016 Exactly. P and S cannot work correctly without control of the f-stop. With Leica-M lenses, there is no way to automatically control f-stop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuhau Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share #4  Posted February 12, 2016 Both of you are right .  Actually I found the S mode works  with the left wheel for focus aid ( meaning magnify ) and the right wheel for shutter speed under the non brand one ( no electronic contacts ) . while the Leica Brand adaptor didn't even give me that option. Of course it means set the aperture from the lens ( M or R  lens ) first and adjust the desired speed with the right wheel and while put the ISO as auto and see the EV bars  on the bottom left for exposure results.  Putting that aside .  Actually, may be I was not direct enough.  I was thinking Leica should not have give me any menu if I wasn't using the Leica M to T adaptor but to give  the many " confusion" options. Point I want to make, was the firmware 1.5 was still very buggy even after so many upgrades.  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted February 12, 2016 Share #5 Â Posted February 12, 2016 I am using Novoflex adapter to use my Nikkor lenses (MF), and since there is no electronic contact, I can only use in A mode and the left dial for the focusing magnifier. The right dial is completely useless!!!... But I wish it wasn't! I wish I could use the right dial for changing ISO; or, any other function to change the exposure! ... Â If Leica comes with a new firmware to allow me using the right dial with non-leica manual lenses, I would be really happy! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom0511 Posted February 12, 2016 Share #6 Â Posted February 12, 2016 I think Leica should allow us to set both wheels to our taste ourselves! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
