Ian clegg Posted June 22, 2022 Share #1 Posted June 22, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) I using a visoflex evf on a monochrom M10. It’s fine with normal bayonet lenses but with adapted screw to bayonet the finder works for a couple of seconds then turns off. Or when I focus.or even if I move my hand to focus. tried cleaning, different adapters, changing all the settings in camera. it should work shouldn’t it ?

maron Posted June 22, 2022 Share #2 Posted June 22, 2022 (edited) What type of Visoflex is it? What is about LV Monitor? Edited June 22, 2022 by maron Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lm28469 Posted July 26, 2022 Share #4 Posted July 26, 2022 Pretty sure this is due to light getting on the lens sensor which sits on the lower part of the mount. It automatically closes the shutter when lights get to it, probably as a sensor protection mechanism if you forgot to switch it off before swapping lens. It mostly is a problem if your adapter doesn't cover the sensor, the original leica adapters don't. To fix it a glued a piece of black foam to the adapter (see the attached files) Welcome, dear visitor!

Ian clegg Posted August 1, 2022 Author Share #5 Posted August 1, 2022 Oh great - somebody who is having the same problem, thanks everso much. That explains the spooky shut down when I put my hand in front. I'm getting some foam from my camera case as I write Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreasG Posted August 1, 2022 Share #6 Posted August 1, 2022 Once I got the same problem and I also found out that cut-out of the original Leica does not cover the 6-bit sensor completely, resulting in a malfunction of the Visoflex. I bought a suitable adapter at ebay, probably China made with a complete round perimeter for little money - problem solved. Welcome, dear visitor!
