L bayonet wobbles - normal?


Recommended Posts

Dear Leica-Enthusiasts,

I have been shooting with the Leica CL since a few months now and always use M lenses with the Leica and Novoflex adapters. However, over these last months I have noticed that lens-adapter-camera combination is not completely rigid. I can now slightly rotate the mount back and forth. It does not seem to affect the IQ but I am worried that it might loosen even more.

Has anyone had similar experiences? I will probably just send it in to Wetzlar...

Thanks for your comments. I had a quick look to the Leica Shop in Vienna and they confirmed that the LM-Adapter has some play along the torque direction. It is less evident with small lenses, they said. I have my rather heavy Voigtländer 50/1.2 on there, so it is more pronounced.

I also noticed that there is more play with the Novoflex adapter compared to the native Leica LM adapter.

Seems to be normal then...
