 I got my hands on an origional 28/5.6 Summaron and these feral cats were my first opportunity to grab a snapshot at 5.6 aperture priority, iso 400 using the in camera black and white function on the CL.

Couple from our wet garden CL with Jupiter 9 85/2 

 

 

Jayne, does your Jupiter lens have the old Leica screw thread? How did you adapt it to work with the CL?

Hi David, yes it does so I use it with the CL via M to L adaptor and LTM to M Mount adaptor on the lens.  

Like so..

Many thanks, Jayne. I must look for an LTM adapter.

Such a wide choice of brands available on Amz. Mostly aluminium. All new to me. Can you recommend  a brand which is safe to use on the CL? Many thanks.

Well I've tried a couple of the cheaper ones, sometimes they are ok.  One that seems to be working best for me at the moment (Framelines don't matter on the CL), is the Fotodiox one - this from Amazon

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fotodiox-Adapter-Coding-Digital-50-75mm/dp/B003Y2QD98/ref=pd_sbs_421_t_2/262-9144990-3701361?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B003Y2QD98&pd_rd_r=6cbbd0bb-e116-4ace-9eba-b1077cf50b33&pd_rd_w=0ksxB&pd_rd_wg=PYD2J&pf_rd_p=e44592b5-e56d-44c2-a4f9-dbdc09b29395&pf_rd_r=D1A1BDFRSMD702ADBAKD&psc=1&refRID=D1A1BDFRSMD702ADBAKD

Recommended are the original Leitz ones if you can find one, the Voigtlander, and also the Rayqual which Robert White stocks here in the UK.  Many seem to get lucky with the  cheaper eBay ones though.

Hope that helps.

Thank you very much Jayne. I see it is a bit of a gamble finding an adapter which will attach and detach easily, while enabling use of historic lenses on M-mount bodies. I am keen to try and will report back in due course.

Hey Jane, I had one of those a couple of years back for my Sony A7. Great lens! I had to take it apart and re-lube the focusing helicoid, as the movement was so stiff that the lens unscrewed from the mount when turning the focusing ring. :) Nice to see one in action once again!

Some "nice" reflections in the water near a marina i Södermalm, Stockholm. With the summicron-m 50. I really liked the colors, tho the subject matter is not "top notch".

Lonicera - with CL 18-56 plus Marumi 5 diop. My macro lens was not with me, because I was on a journey for a few days and took only the 18-56 and the 55-135 with me, to keep gear as light as possible.

Very delicate and graceful. Who needs a macro lens when travelling light?
