I use a number of different Canon lenses with my 1dxmkii and 5dsr...I'm trying out an EF lens to Leica M mount converter and am surprised with the results.  There is no aperture adjustment however.

So what aperture do you get? Largest, smallest what?

 

I would like to know so I can use my Canon lenses on the M

Why should there be an aperture adjustment or reading for a Canon lens?

As is, only full open use with EF lens.

 

...

As experimentation ...

 

Don't tell people that for years, I could use at "prepared aperture" EF lenses on M.

How to do that.

Use an EOS body to "close down at the needed F Stop" at aperture priority,

... then unmount the lens.

The EF lens is closed to that only F Stop "forever" .

 

But I don't do that anymore, Leica or 3d parties "M mount lenses" are much more practical and as bonus are "better IQ" and usable at every aperture .

You can set any aperture with lens on a Canon body, then press the depth of field button on the camera and remove the lens whilst continuing to hold the DoF preview. The lens remains at the stopped down setting.

 

Not very practical - but it is possible!

You can mount the amazing Canon shift lenses for architectural photography with spectacular results from the Leica sensor

I use my Nikon PC-E T/S lens on my Nikon bodies with good results. I personally do not see a need for a hybrid system, but that‘s just me. The D850 sensor is a match for the lens. For me, the M system is, amongst other factors, about overall compactness. But you mention an interesting setup. Thanks.
