cp995 Posted September 6, 2018 Share #2 Posted September 6, 2018 Voigtländer VM/E - Very well build and has a helicoid funktion to reduce the min. focus distance 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted September 6, 2018 Share #3 Posted September 6, 2018 Another vote for the Voigtlander VM-E Close Focus Adapter which allows to focus 20cm closer more or less. The Novoflex NEX/LEM Adapter is also excellent, significantly lighter than the VM-E but it has no close focus feature. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgk Posted September 6, 2018 Share #4 Posted September 6, 2018 I have a Metabones Adapter - straightforward, well made, works fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMAL Posted September 6, 2018 Share #5 Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) I have an expensive novoflex one and a cheap k&f concept one. Both do a perfect job. Edited September 6, 2018 by SMAL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim0266 Posted September 6, 2018 Share #9 Posted September 6, 2018 I have a Fotasy adapter ($17 on Amazon) and a Vello ($32.50 at B&H). No issues with either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkwok Posted September 7, 2018 Share #10 Posted September 7, 2018 (edited) If you just want manual focus, I think Voigtlander is a good one, as described above. You may consider a Techart, which gives autofocus to your M lens and to R lens (light weight lens only). It is fun to use, and can allow additional close focus. The attached image is taken with a Sony A7RII, Summicron M 35mm (7 elements) on Techart, plus some LR adjustment Welcome, dear visitor!

blacksinner Posted September 7, 2018 Share #11 Posted September 7, 2018 voigtlander vm-e close focus. has great feel of quality. never wrong with it 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anrotil68 Posted September 7, 2018 Author Share #12 Posted September 7, 2018 the LEICA lens is the TOP for the quality, so I find a lens adapter the return the same quality, or the best quality on SONY A73 sensor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted September 7, 2018 Share #13 Posted September 7, 2018 No problem with Voigtlander and Novoflex adapters as suggested above. I have both but the Voigtlander is almost stuck to my A7s mod due to its close focus capabilities. Very handy to do close focusing w/o having to add or remove any adapter. Here with a Tele-Elmarit "thin" 90/2.8 at 80cm subject distance instead of 1m normally: https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-FbZrNTf/0/baa5edc1/XL/i-FbZrNTf-XL.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSU Posted September 8, 2018 Share #14 Posted September 8, 2018 I have a pair of A7-2 bodies, my first adapter was the non-helicoid Voigtlander. Once I tried the Voigtlander helicoid close focus adapter, I put the original on the shelf and only carry a helicoid adapter on each body. If you don't need the close focus function, it can be locked out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simone_DF Posted September 10, 2018 Share #15 Posted September 10, 2018 Techart for the autofocus capabilities (can also be used in manual mode of course). I sold my Voigtlander adapter for the Techart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdlaing Posted September 10, 2018 Share #17 Posted September 10, 2018 Techart for the autofocus capabilities (can also be used in manual mode of course).

Simone_DF Posted September 27, 2018 Share #18 Posted September 27, 2018 Tech art is an iffy hobbled slow solution to autofocus an M lens. Weird, works really well for me and I wouldn't call it "slow". You can even eye-autofocus on a A7III. Again, it can be disabled and used as a "normal" adapter in manual mode with the press of a button. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duoenboge Posted September 27, 2018 Share #19 Posted September 27, 2018 M-lenses with AF? What a sacrilege ... its ingenious. For focal length longer than 35mm ir works very good. A7Riii with the eyes-focus-function + Techart pro + Summilux75mm is a dream. You nails the focus very relaxt, very precise with any aperture. The Techart pro gives you some nice Macro posibilities as well. It works also with the peaking funktion to focus. The Problems are with the wide angle lenses and Sony cameras. But its a problem of the sensor and it is independent of the adapters you are using. I recommand: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-IBhIobs10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted September 27, 2018 Share #20 Posted September 27, 2018 This is indeed a strength of the Sony E mount. Its register is short enough to fit adapters like VM-E and Techart which are out of reach of any Leica camera so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
