AdjusterBrett Posted July 5 Share #1 Posted July 5 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have a plethora of Exakta mount lenses - and have had a trying time with adapters. I usually buy an adapter per lens (for those I use regularly), but the Fotasy on Amazon isn't consistent (out of five, one is fairly tight - but often disengages the retention pin, the other four are paperweights). I have many Jena (Zeiss) lenses but the most troublesome one is the pancolar 50mm/2 (the auto, that looks like the millennium falcon - often referred to as the Star Wars due to the auto thingy hanging out the side) - picture attached from eBay. I have several - and use them on the TL2 and SL - but the focus is usually tight and thereby often wiggles the lens out of the retention pin. I have other lenses in eXakta - but this one (in particular) is a problem child. I have several topcors as well, some with the two pins. What experience have you had with other adapters. There is a thirty dollar one (looks pretty similar) and then there are the blue/black ones on eBay (for the two pin or Real), for double that, then we get into the ridiculous priced ones. Just need reliable (holds the lens) - really do not care if its not mounted perfectly - just want it to stay in place. Welcome, dear visitor!

Advertisement Posted July 5 Posted July 5 Hi AdjusterBrett, Take a look here exakta to L mount adapter. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Biotar Posted July 6 Share #2 Posted July 6 I am quite happy with a Newyi Exakta to LM. For LM I then have a Helicoid adapter, which extends the close-up distance and makes fine focus easier with old lenses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdjusterBrett Posted July 8 Author Share #3 Posted July 8 did a quick search on it - being I'm in the US, and its not listed anywhere, but there is the AI summary at the top raving about it. Know of anyplace I can buy it. I did find the helicoid on Aliexpress, but no Exakta to L adapter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biotar Posted July 9 Share #4 Posted July 9 I meant a helicoid for Leica-M to L-mount and an Exakta to Leica-M adapter. You can get them everywhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted July 9 Share #5 Posted July 9 I'm sure that there are plenty of Exacta to M mount adapters available. Combine with an M to L adapter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
