Kostia Posted February 20 Share #1 Posted February 20 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello, I installed a 7 artisans close-up ring on my Leica SL2-S. And it doesn't work. Do you have any ideas? The screen remains black, except for the usual indications at the top and bottom, which I also see in the viewfinder. But... no image! Surprisingly, the aperture indicator reacts to the movement of the ring. So the camera detects something but doesn't send back an image! I tried every possible position, read and reread the interior menus for adjustments to be made... But nothing. I consulted a well-known French website. I can't get a satisfactory answer. Matt Osborne in a YouTube video finds this ring satisfactory on a CL... Would this ring simply not be suitable for an SL2-S, for reasons that remain a mystery to me? Thank you.

Einst_Stein Posted February 20 Share #2 Posted February 20 Cameras like Canon EF requires electronic communications between the lens and the camera. I believe Leica S, SL, are the same. Apparently your extension tube does not have the proper electronic communications. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has no electronic communication, but 7artisans presents it as a adapted ring to Leica L. I use my Jupiter 8, with a K&M adapter also with no electronics, and it works well. Moreover, I read good things about the Light Lens Lab close focus ring. Maybe i will buy this one. I asked 7artisans why it doesn't work, I am answering the answer. Have a nice day.

Biotar Posted February 20 Share #4 Posted February 20 It may be that the adapter touches the contacts of the camera and short-circuits them - try sticking a piece of tape over it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biotar Posted February 20 Share #5 Posted February 20 ...or it's too tight and doesn't lock into place. If you press the camera release button, you can see it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kostia Posted February 20 Author Share #10 Posted February 20 Ok. L- mount. I didn’t pay attention. Why call this part L-Mount after calling all the other parts by camera system ? Sorry. I take a candy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's unusual for a member like me, who doesn't visit the forum very often, to find himself lost when he reads the section headings. I don't come here very often and I haven't even remembered having previoulsy posted in the right forum before. If the posts are sometimes misdirected, perhaps you should talk to the managers and ask “please open a Leica SL section” below Leica S. And let's all share the candy pack ! Have a nice evening.
