PhilippWe Posted January 21, 2023 Share #1 Posted January 21, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have some Canon RF glass I would like try on the Leica M11, knowing it comes near to heresy… I have the 100 mm/ 2.8 Macro RF for my EOS R5 and would like to try it on M11. Is there an adapter? Of course I dont expect autofocus and I am not sure how to steer aperture. some ideas. thanx Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted January 21, 2023 Share #2 Posted January 21, 2023 You can use Leica M lenses on the Canon R but not the other way around. The register distance is too short. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photoworks Posted January 22, 2023 Share #3 Posted January 22, 2023 well with a little of fantasy you can. set the f-spot preview to f16 in the R5 and dismount the lens. you should now be able to hold it on the M11 with gaffer tape, and focus for macro photos. you can move camera lens till you have focus.

Al Brown Posted January 22, 2023 Share #4 Posted January 22, 2023 Leica M mount has 27.80 mm flange distance, Canon RF has 20.00 mm flange distance. M mount lenses can be used on a RF body, RF lenses cannot be used on a M body. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyrogallol Posted January 22, 2023 Share #6 Posted January 22, 2023 I read “Canon rf” and assumed the rf stood for rangefinder, which in 99% of cases is the same as Leica screw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilippWe Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share #7 Posted January 23, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thanks guys. I already feared this answer.. So I will not sell my Canon EOS R5 anf the Canon equipment yet. But I very much enjoy my new M11, Summilux 35 and Summicron 75. The immediate control I have on my images and the stunning colours and sharpness together with much less weight and bulk makes me wonder, why I waited so long (50 years..) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
