pebbles Posted April 6, 2017 Share #1 Posted April 6, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) I like this lens a lot and used it on my M6. Can anyone kindly let me know if it can be used on the M10 without serious modification. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted April 6, 2017 Posted April 6, 2017 Hi pebbles, Take a look here Can the 40mm Summicron be fitted to the M10 without any filing ?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
UliWer Posted April 6, 2017 Share #2 Posted April 6, 2017 Here is a thread about the 40mm Summicron and the M9 - same for the M10 (besides you could use the EVF to get the right frame of view, though I would think this is not sooo important) http://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/267190-40mm-summicron-ad-m9/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebbles Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted April 7, 2017 Thanks Uliwer. i posed the same question when I was lent an M9 - which I didn't like - it was so fat compared with my M6. it worked fine save that the frame lines weren't correct but I could work around that without a problem. When i get an M10 i will certainly use it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie Posted April 7, 2017 Share #4 Posted April 7, 2017 Years ago, I did file down the claw of a CV 40/1.4 to bring up the 35mm frame-lines. Ground glass on film plane examination indicates the 35mm frame-line is a near 100% FoV for the 40mm FL...the way I prefer. With digital, the equivalent test is easy...just compare the VF frame-line to a "live view". Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmahto Posted April 7, 2017 Share #5 Posted April 7, 2017 It works on my M240 therefore I can't imagine why it won't work on M10. The filing of tab is unnecessary if you are ok with 50mm frame-lines. I also worked out the six-bit coding for this lens (it is difficult since a flange screw is in the way) and posted in the past. If you do a search then you may find it. All I will say is that it is very underappreciated lens and hugely important to me. Now I use this lens to stitch three vertical frames giving me equivalent of 28mm FOV and 50mp sensor. The result beats the pants off my summicron 28mm shot in resolution. A huge benefit if you want to print your landscapes really large. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
