Canon rf lenses to leica m11: is there an Adapter?

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

You can use Leica M lenses on the Canon R but not the other way around. The register distance is too short.

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.

No, there isn’t.

I read “Canon rf” and assumed the rf stood for rangefinder, which in 99% of cases is the same as Leica screw.

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..)
