lucy63 Posted July 24, 2021 Share #1 Â Posted July 24, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) I feel a bit daft, I can't remove the adaptor. The M lens comes off the adaptor but the adaptor just won't budge from the camera. I don't want to force it, any tips please? Â Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucy63 Posted July 24, 2021 Author Share #6 Â Posted July 24, 2021 My strong friend used rubber gloves and brute force and it came off! I was so worried about breaking something...TY! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsh Posted July 24, 2021 Share #7 Â Posted July 24, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) Rub a TINY bit of Vaseline on the M-L adapter and that should take care of the problem. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boojay Posted July 24, 2021 Share #8 Â Posted July 24, 2021 I would be worried about that, no way any force should be necessary, if you are near a Leica shop I would pop in with it and get them to check the mounts. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ba Erv Posted July 24, 2021 Share #9  Posted July 24, 2021 Mine is very tight also.  I thought it would loosen up but it hasn’t. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LBJ2 Posted July 26, 2021 Share #10  Posted July 26, 2021 (edited) My new M-L adapter was also Very tight on the SL2. The new SL lenses too. But it did loosen up a bit for me after a couple days of use. Hopefully the rubber glove recommend above helped with your situation. I know I had to apply a significant level of force to off the adapter those first few days. The 50 APO was so tight It didn't completely connect my first few tries and the AF didn't work which sent me into a minor panic for a few seconds, third attempt I really forced it and all was well since.

SamJames Posted July 27, 2021 Share #11  Posted July 27, 2021 The Kipon L-M (no electronic contacts) is a perfect fit, the best of the cheap brands. I have tried a few of the cheap versions including Urth which was well made but wouldn’t lock into position. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEGEND Posted July 27, 2021 Share #12  Posted July 27, 2021 My goes also hard when I put is inside. It is narrow but acceptable hard fit. I never play with it because I am afraid to scratch or brake something inside… Otherwise no problems with it… I also had one third party one but it wobbled a little when is used so I purchased a Leica original. Sorry for errors… English is not my native language so I tried Google translate… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
