wolan Posted April 5, 2020 Share #1 Posted April 5, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, can this lens be used on an M10? Is it safe to mount it? https://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/rangefinder/35mm-f18.htm Thank you Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 Hi wolan, Take a look here W-NIKKOR Nikon 3.5cm (35mm) f/1.8 on a M10?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
shirubadanieru Posted April 6, 2020 Share #2 Posted April 6, 2020 The ltm version yes, as long as you get the ltm adapter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James24 Posted April 8, 2020 Share #3 Posted April 8, 2020 As Shiru mentions, yes the LTM version works fine with LTM adapter. The Nikon S mount version cannot be used with Amedeo or other adapters because the back of the lens gets in the way of the rangefinder mechanism. The Nikkor 3.5cm f2.5 can however be used with an Amedeo adapter. Plenty more information here:- https://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=79631 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrogallol Posted April 8, 2020 Share #4 Posted April 8, 2020 The f1.8 is the most desirable (and expensive) of the 35mm lenses for the Nikon rangefinder cameras. I would like one. I have three of the f3.5 version and now an f2.5 as well. But as said that Nikon S version is not suitable for the Leica. Welcome, dear visitor!

shirubadanieru Posted April 8, 2020 Share #6 Posted April 8, 2020 @James24 what filter do you use? : ) I would not only say it’s the best Nikkor 35mm lens, but probably the best classic 35mm lens for Leica cameras (tied with the 8 elements). Have both and love them equally. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolan Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share #8 Posted October 12, 2020 Hi, a follow-up question: is it safe to mount the lens via Nikon s-> Leica M adapter? I understand it blocks somehow the rangefinder mechanism, however I plan to use it with the Visio EVF Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not try it . A few 1.8 W-Nikkor S mount lenses have been adapted to LTM /M mount but it is not a reversible process . There is a thread about these lenses on the Rangefinder Forum.

Best, Jean-Marc Thanks I gently tried to mount the lens today, and indeed it simply can't feet in. Will use it then exclusively on my Nikon Z Here is one of my first pictures taken with this lens: Welcome, dear visitor!
