The 90 Summicron and Elmarit used a focus mount. This combination did not allow for full aperature metering. I have used a 90 Summicron, 90 Elmar, Elmarit, Hektor, f All of the above combinations focus to infinity. Yet another call for Leica to make the "Auto-Visoflex! Okay, Peter. So, apart from the impossibility to mount M lenses on an SLR body as exposed, you were basically saying: it's easier to compose and focus a 90mm lens on an SLR than on a RF body.
Well, errr Once you have found and bought the dedicated Viso compatible lenses, you might as well get an "M-to-R" adapter and a used R body - a much more flexible combination IMHO as it opens up the world of all the other true R lenses to you, as a bonus. Kelly: I am curious about the hockey picture you posted saying it was from the '50s. I was active in hockey in the 50s and no one had even heard of a helmet until Jacques Plante came up with a face mask for goalies.
Helmets for hockey were not widely used until the late 60s or 70s. Not being picky, but dating this picture is no less picky than asking if a IIc body is pre or post war, or what generation a Summicron is. He only said that the lens was from the '50's; he didn't say anything at all about when the photo was taken.
Maybe last week, as far as we know. Or can you not imagine anyone using '50's equipment today? The Hockey photo was shot about 3 months ago. The Nikkor is about 50 years old. The adapter Mark mentioned is available ready-made for yen here. Obviously Leica M cannot be mounted on Nikon body because of the shorter film to mount distance.
This preserves infinite and close range focus. Allow metering thru stop down mode not for new nikon body that need the electrical contact. Appreciate any info you can give.
Doug, I essentially made a mount replacement. The CV M lenses might work well as pancake lenses for the Zs. I don't know that to be true. I've sold all mine, so I can't help you there. I will try the 21mm, What 21mm M mount do you have Raaj? HeavyDuty's gear list: HeavyDuty's gear list. My suspicion is that you will enjoy using your M-mount lenses with the Z. F Forum M My threads.

What Nikon could learn from Canon's "DX" lenses. Vert vs Horz and the old pro. What do you do with your lens ring? Check out the compatibility list here. Unfortunately, the problem with these incompatible lenses appears to be unsolvable with any adapter design — and requires an actual modification of the lenses themselves. Because the latest Amedeo adapter iteration will only bring up the 50mm frameline in Leica M cameras, you will have to use the frameline selector to use lenses other other focal length through the viewfinder.
However, this is not an issue on the Voigtlander Bessa cameras with independent frame selectors or with any digital M with Live view. Furthermore, the design of the Leica rangefinder mechanism causes some focus dampening with both Nikkor S and Contax lenses that does not exist natively.
Also remember that S-mount lenses usually do not focus more closely than 0. So, why adapt 60 year-old Nikon S lenses to a Leica M? Here are some things to consider:.
So that is pretty neat. But these lenses can adapt to mirrorless cameras. If it makes you feel better, these rare lenses all exist in M39 versions, although be prepared to pay much more money for them. The following are the primary common S-mount lenses you would want to would to consider adapting to an M:. With so many other good and affordable 28mms in Leica mount, I would not bother unless you already own one. While sharing the same basic symmetrical design as both the 3. However, in , Nikon redesigned the lens completely.
In , in the connection with the re-issue of the S3, Nikon also reproduced the version of the lens. On the M3, only the 50mm frameline will come up. It was one of the only Nikon rangefinder designs that were later repurposed for the Nikon F series.
However, because no Leica rangefinder camera has a mm frameline unlike the Nikon S3 and SP , it is not ideal and would require an external viewfinder for more accurate framing. Voigtlander Lenses : For those who want more modern designs, I guess you could get some now-discontinued S-mount Voigtlander lenses.
