Good afternoon! I really need your advice. The Leica M 240 camera. I connected a manual mir-1 37mm lens to it through an adapter (Chinese). In fact, it gives the following picture in LV. What do you think is the reason and how to fix it? https://postimg.cc/f3Y5j0Cj - photo what i see on display

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

Well, you have a low-grade lens on a doubtful adapter which as a result gives a rubbish image with a heavy vignette. Please buy something decent that matches your excellent camera.

This is a lens that is designed for a SLR CAMERA usually a M42 pentax screw mount, not for use on a RF camera. The back focus does not work with a RF unless you are using a Pentax Screw Mt to Leica M mount adp.  Go to a store that sells Leica and let them show you what you need, which is a different lens

1. This will not work with a Rangefinder focus even with the correct adp. there is NO RF cam on the lens.

Jaapv, that was not a helpful answer!!!
