Wang Chengzhi Posted October 12, 2021 Share #1  Posted October 12, 2021 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Today I put Macro-Elmarit-R 60mm to Panasonic S1 with a brand new L/R to L adapter made by Metabones. However, after I tried to focus from infinity to 0.27m, it appears that the whole focus range is much closer than each stop of DoF scales. E.g. after I switched to infinity stop, the focus point actually leaves on around 3 meters away. Now I am not really sure there is a problem either in the lens or in the metabones adapter. Does anyone have similar problem before? Thanks. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

a.noctilux Posted October 12, 2021 Share #2 Â Posted October 12, 2021 I think that the adapter is a bit too thick. To find out, you can measure it's thickness with digital caliper. I don't know the required thickness but we can find out also, knowing the 47mm of Leica R ( flange to film ) minus the flange to sensor of your camera.

The thickness is almost 26.9mm as the seller measured so it looks suitable. Welcome, dear visitor!

a.noctilux Posted October 12, 2021 Share #4 Â Posted October 12, 2021 I've found the L lens flange is 20mm, here ..., so this must be 20+26.9 = 46.9mm ... a bit short and other way around. Is the lens works fine with Leica R camera ? Â Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

a.noctilux Posted October 12, 2021 Share #6  Posted October 12, 2021 (edited) I think by observing the "gap length" of the Macro-Elmarit-M 60 show above, comparing to my 60mm set at infinity, the 'gap' at front is far larger ( about x3 times larger) than mine set to infinity stop . image from Wiki Welcome, dear visitor!

davidmknoble Posted October 19, 2021 Share #7  Posted October 19, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) Agreed,  I have a 60 macro that works fine on my R8 and R9, as well as on my SL2 with the Leica R to L adapter.  No focus issues, infinity to close up.  The top of the lens should close to the lip of the extended portion… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wang Chengzhi Posted January 22, 2022 Author Share #8 Â Posted January 22, 2022 Anyway, I have returned back this lens to the seller. I think it must have some focal issues across all scales. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
