Can you use S lens on T,TL,TL2,CL?


Recommended Posts

No, you can't.  The S-adapter-L only works on the Leica SL and with some limitations 1) You can't eg. stack with the Contax 645 adapter and use Contax 645 lenses on the SL 2) The Central Shutter function of the Leica S CS lenses is not supported.

I believe this answer is correct but I vaguely remember Leica changing firmware to allow adapters to work or work with more features.   I no longer have a camera to test but Leica Stores will.

 

Get a good grip on the setup, the body is too small to hold those S lenses easily :-)

Still the case AFAIK.  The Leica website and Leica Store Miami both only list the M-adapter-L and the R-adapter-L in the CL/TL accessories section.  

 

The only recent compatibility change that I recall is that with the TL2/CL the OIS function of the SL-lenses is supported.  Other than that I don't recall any recent changes.  

 

If I ever find my adapter again (it seems to have vanished) I will try it out.

I found the adapter again and I can confirm now that it is still not supported on the CL.  

 

When you turn on the camera you get a message "This adapter is not supported".

And you only get about 3 fps when using S-lenses on the SL.

I didn't know that but given that I am still on the old AF motors that is probably a good thing...  :)
