Hi does the live view works on Leica S007 or Leica S3  with third-party lens. Thanks

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

Same as it does with S lenses, you are working off the sensor.....

AF will not work but liveview but manual focus in liveview should work.

I have tried on my Leica S 007 on both L adapter H (hasselblad HC) and L adapter C (contax 645) both Autofocus work but not the live view.

Live virew also not working for dumb adapter for manual focus lens.

I am not sure for the Leica S3 is there any updates?

What do you mean by LV not working? Can't you see the LV in LCD? Can't you zoom in and focus manually?

The LCD screen does show up only the native S lens work.

For third party lens focusing is only through optical view finder.

On my S3, with HC lenses, the LCD screen shows up when LV is selected. AF is possible with OVF, with LV only MF is possible.

Thank you

I have just put the S(007) on the setup I had my S2-P on;  Leica M645 adapter, Mamiya 645 bellows and a Schneider Componon-S 135mm enlarging lens.  No electronics talking to the camera, I can get into LV but getting a magnified view is not obvious....

Yes. As expected. These lenses have been built with phase detection AF in mind. Not a biggie, I would add. If Live view is used, the camera is most likely on a tripod and critical focussing can be easily obtained manually (maybe even better).
