Which adapter would be good to attach it to my CL, nothing tooooo expensive now Oh...UK sourced. TIA Edited July 7, 2019 by Dave in Wales Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 Hi Dave in Wales, Take a look here Nikkor to 'L', adapter advice please.. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
ramarren Posted July 7, 2019 Share #2 Posted July 7, 2019 I use a Rayqual Nikon F to Leica M-mount adapter, and fit it to the CL using the Leica M Adapter L when I use my Nikkor 55mm f/3.5. It's a wonderful lens. I bought it quite a few years ago now for something like $70 and it's never let me down. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcraf Posted July 7, 2019 Share #3 Posted July 7, 2019 Might not be the cheapest option, but I have used a Novoflex LET/NIK adapter to use Nikkors on my SL for a few years now. That should also work on the CL. As far as being UK-sourced goes, they are available from Speedgraphic in Hampshire. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted July 7, 2019 Share #4 Posted July 7, 2019 If you want viewfinder magnification to work by the control wheel you must first mount an original Leica L-M adapter and stack any M-Nik one. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommonego@gmail.com Posted July 7, 2019 Share #5 Posted July 7, 2019 I have the Fotodoix adapter, works but only has graphic O's for the aperture setting. I use it mostly with my 11-16 Tokina for a wide angle lens, it has a tripod mount. Have looked into electronic Nikon adapters but they are around $900 US. Have used my 55 Micro Nikkor with this with decent results, but prefer knowing the fstop I am using when doing macro photography. Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leitzpark Posted July 8, 2019 Share #7 Posted July 8, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) @jaapv I read here around that even with a dumb adapter it is possible to have magnification using the display. Could you please be so kind to explain how to set this up on camera? I am currently playing with my new to me TL2 but can't figure out how to magnify the image. Admittedly it might be my 39°C feaver in hot central Italy letting me down- Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted July 8, 2019 Share #8 Posted July 8, 2019 Hello, I have been using my old manual Nikkor lenses on my T and CL for years without any problem. All you need is a Novoflex adapter that, unfortunately, is not very cheap. As these lenses are manual and the adapter does not have any electrical connection with the camera, to use the magnification, you have to use the up/down arrow. You don’t need any setting and everything works great in manual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leitzpark Posted July 8, 2019 Share #9 Posted July 8, 2019 Dear @Louis, it might be due to my feaver, but I don't see any up/down arrow in the camera UI. Should I be looking somewhere specific on the right frame? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leitzpark Posted August 3, 2019 Share #15 Posted August 3, 2019 for the future, the correct answer concerning how to enable magnification on the TL2 was given to me by @flyduber here: Its very important that in the menu you choose 6 items so it allows you to set the menu that way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffry Abt Posted August 3, 2019 Share #16 Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) 85mm f 1.4 Nikon no longer makes this beautiful lens. But it is an all time favorite with me. So this Novoflex adapter works for me. The lens hood makes it look heavier than it is. Welcome, dear visitor!
