Zenzanon SQ lens to M-mount adapter?

I'd love to use my four Bronica-Zenzanon lenses with my M Monochrom. I can use them with my Sigma SD Quattro with a Fotodiox adapter, but they don't make one for the M mount. Any ideas about how this might be achieved?

Cheers,

Rob

It may be a matter of stacking two adapters to achieve required coupling.  If you can find. Sigma SD to M adapter you have the solution, eBay is your friend here.

Just wondering, fitting medium format lens (assuming big/biggish) to M body (compact), is that good way to use the the camera unless curiosity is strong.

You are right, I wasn't thinking about the 200mm. That would be too much, but the others might be useable. The attraction of old-ish glass with the Monochrom I find very interesting.

WRemind me which monochrome you have, M9M or M246, with the former you can focus only RF coupled lenses, otherwise it is a guesswork, the latter has either add-on EVF or rear live view screen so non native lenses of any focal length could b3 utilised.

M9M. Ah. Okay. That's a problem. Thanks for pointing it out.

In theory one could imagine a lens booster MF to FF. That would give a  f/stop extra and a more WA focus to the lens.
