YellowBelly Posted October 20, 2019 Share #1 Posted October 20, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have just bought a CL and have the S/SL adapter obviously it works well with the SL. I hope that this might be a software update issue but maybe someone else who is in this group might have already asked Leica about this issue? thank you Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted October 20, 2019 Posted October 20, 2019 Hi YellowBelly, Take a look here S adapter on CL. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
ramarren Posted October 20, 2019 Share #2 Posted October 20, 2019 I seem to recall someone else talking about this, with the resolution from Leica support stating that it wasn't compatible with the CL or T series bodies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott kirkpatrick Posted October 20, 2019 Share #3 Posted October 20, 2019 Nope. The S/SL adapter has never worked on the CL and I suppose on the TL as well. And there has never been a promise to correct this. Leica seems to find it inappropriate. I guess there would be CL firmware changes required.

YellowBelly Posted October 21, 2019 Author Share #4 Posted October 21, 2019 I’m just confused about why they would not let use use our wonderful S glass on here if we wanted or needed to. Maybe I will see about taping over the contact to see if I can make a dead connection. Obviously I won’t then be able too change aperture but the S100mm who really cares Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramarren Posted October 21, 2019 Share #5 Posted October 21, 2019 Perhaps there are engineering/technical reasons why the S lenses can't be supported on the CL/T series bodies. Hard to say since they haven't provided any information other than that the adapter isn't compatible. Leica usually does have a reason for why they do things, it's hard to debate it in the absence of any useful information. G Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted October 21, 2019 Share #6 Posted October 21, 2019 You might be able to find a cheap dumb adapter on eBay Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
helged Posted October 21, 2019 Share #7 Posted October 21, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) As far as I understand it, the CL/TL-batteries don't provide enough power to 'drive' the S-lenses. To run the S-lenses in fully manual mode (with fixed aperture and manual focussing) is, as we understand it, not an option for Leica... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
