adan Posted January 29, 2009 Share #1 Posted January 29, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) The German forum seems to have picked up on this, but I've seen no mention on the international forum yet: Leica lens for Nikon cameras One does have to have some nerve and be handy with a screwdriver.... There are some posts and picture links from an experimenter on the Leica Users GROUP (archives) who has converted and used 19 (old style), 90 and 180 lenses. Something to do while waiting for the R10... [edit] Hi, Andy - the search function turned up only posts in German, except for one early one referencing the Pentax version and that a Nikon version was "in progress"..Sorry if I missed something.

Advertisement Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Hi adan, Take a look here Leica R lenses on D700. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
andybarton Posted January 29, 2009 Share #2 Posted January 29, 2009 These adaptors have been discussed before here, and my conclusion was that they are not for the feint hearted... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimF Posted January 29, 2009 Share #3 Posted January 29, 2009 Indeed. Easier to use a C***n with R glass in the meantime! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Roberts Posted January 29, 2009 Share #4 Posted January 29, 2009 These adaptors have been discussed before here, and my conclusion was that they are not for the feint hearted... Ah but it looks so simple on their web site! I'd even consider buying another 80R lux and 50 Lux just to use them on my D3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bostontom Posted January 31, 2009 Share #5 Posted January 31, 2009 I've got a D-80, which I've been considering selling to get a system that will accomodate Leica glass. But I do have a few bucks invested in some nice Nikon lenses, so I'd rather find a way to get R lenses to sit happily on what I already own. Just how evil is this as a solution? thanks T.

Evil enough to make me think I'll keep an eye out for cheap R lenses Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
