Steve McGarrett Posted December 14, 2017 Share #1 Posted December 14, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello, Before I start breaking or bending something, is the old 22228 R-to-M adapter (ie. the one that was originally made for Leicina super8 camera) compatible with M-adapter-L? Thanks S. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted December 14, 2017 Share #3 Posted December 14, 2017 Yes, but it will require modification to mount more modern R lenses, specifically ROM lenses, but also a few others. The other problem is that the inner diameter is rather narrow (after all, it was designed for a 16 mm camera) and it will vignette on quite a few lenses. My Vario-Elmar is particularly bad. I would advise you to avoid these problems and buy the Novoflex adapter or even one of the better eBay offerings. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I know that Leicina adapter doesn't work with R-cam and ROM lenses, I was more concerned about the other side of the mount (ie. any risk of damage to the contact stripe on the M-adapter-L?) I've already have a Novoflex R-to-M, and works flawlessly, but since I also own the 22228, I was curious if it could be used as a backup (only for 3-cams lenses, of course) without any harm.

jaapv Posted December 14, 2017 Share #5 Posted December 14, 2017 Well, in that case, you shouldn’t have a problem mounting it, unless one of the lugs is bent over the years. If you feel too much resistance, don’t. However, it will vignette. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkCambridgeshire Posted December 16, 2017 Share #6 Posted December 16, 2017 Vignetting is very noticeable … only suitable for cropped sensor TL/CL and DMR. dunk 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
