Dear Forum,

is it possible to use a Zeiss Batis f1.8 85mm (made for the Sonyalpha) on a Leica M10?

I found an adapter:

But I wonder how to change the aperture.

Kind regards

Hello,

If the Batis is in E-mount, the flange distance is shorter than Leica M mount, so it's not usable.

The adapter you linked to is for use with lenses with older Minolta/Sony mount which is "thicker" (longer flange distance) than M mount.

The Alpha mount from Sony was for SLR not E-mount designed for mirrorless cameras NEX/Alpha7x.

Alpha 7x ILCE, NEX need this type of adapter to use AF Sony Alpha lenses

...

Some people uses this adapter:

this is the other way around to use M lenses on Sony Alpha / E mount camera.
