lars_bergquist Posted October 14, 2007 Share #2 Posted October 14, 2007 John, the CV bayonet adapters of the model used hitherto cannot be milled for coding. It is said that a new model is or will be available. Check this. The other way to solve this is to buy a Milich adapter of course.

sean_reid Posted October 14, 2007 Share #6 Posted October 14, 2007 "CV 15/4.5 Milich adapter and Milich hood and filter" Yes, or leave it uncoded (regular adapter) and batch the files in Cornerfix. "CV 28/1.9 Milich adapter (have filter)" Yes. "CV 35/1.2 Remove exist M-mount and send to Milich Are there any "Got'cha's" in it's removal?" I haven't done that yet. A little bird told me that this process was easy with a CV 21P. "CV 50/1.5 Just add IR Cut filter and M-mount adapter" Right, 52 mm B+W. "Canon 85/1.5 Add cut filter and adapter" That should be all you need. "Win Lotto so I can buy Leica Glass...." Leica lenses are wonderful but you may be happy with this set for years. I would also recommend grabbing a 28/3.5 while we can still get them. Cheers, Sean Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
