As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Hi all thanks for taking the time to view this, I am a complete amateur and recently inherited a relatives Leica M4. My question is what kind of adaptor would I need to fit a 'Canon Leica Screw Mount 35mm F/2 LTM Lens' onto the Leica M4? Is there anything out there in the camera world that would possibly put this lens together with that camera? I am hoping there's some kind of fit that will work but on the off chance that there isn't could you please provide some recommendations for a lens that would not be too costly? I'm only planning on using the camera to take pictures for fun, nothing too serious.

erl Posted July 18, 2017 Share #2 Posted July 18, 2017 I don't know the answer, but there is one. Hold your breath, any moment someone will offer at least one answer, maybe more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
david strachan Posted July 18, 2017 Share #3 Posted July 18, 2017 Welcome ricky...hope you enjoy the Forum.. A truly excellent lens...just need an adapter to make it work with M bayonet fitting, off Ebay. Works superbly at all f-stops and is tiny. I have many Canon ltm's and never find focus problems. ...

pop Posted July 18, 2017 Share #4 Posted July 18, 2017 It's called a "LTM to M adapter". Use one designed for the focal length of 35mm, often labelled as "35 to 135". Using an LTM to M adapter for another focal length would bring up the wrong frame lines on your M4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ko.Fe. Posted July 18, 2017 Share #5 Posted July 18, 2017 LTM to M 35mm no name MiC are available on ebay cheap, but better to avoid them and get Leica, Leitz made one. They are around 70 USD on ebay. Fotodiox are OK as well and less expensive. https://www.amazon.com/Fotodiox-Mount-Adapter-Thread-Leica/dp/B003EB326Q/ref=pd_sim_421_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B003EB326Q&pd_rd_r=3MJG3NG32C2ZZ55R7Z2M&pd_rd_w=HQNxg&pd_rd_wg=GxQIk&psc=1&refRID=3MJG3NG32C2ZZ55R7Z2M Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted July 18, 2017 Share #6 Posted July 18, 2017 Nothing wrong with Voigtländer ones. And a lot cheaper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdlaing Posted July 18, 2017 Share #7 Posted July 18, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Voigtlaander are good. Very well made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
microview Posted July 18, 2017 Share #8 Posted July 18, 2017 Nothing wrong with Voigtländer ones. And a lot cheaper. Except that I believe they are discontinued, eg Cameraquest now only lists Rayqual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
