Use SLR wide angles on your Leica M Mount Rangefinder Mount your SLR wide angle lenses on Leica M cameras!   Perfect to use SLR wide angles on your Leica, infinity focus, no glass in adapter to degrade image.   These are most practical with wide angles, but can also be used with teles and zooms if you focus very carefully using the distance scale.   There is NO rangefinder coupling.  TTL flash or ambient metering will still work - if you RF body offers that feature.  TRIVIA: Why is that not so great pic of the M6 and 20mm Nikkor lens on my web site?  See end of page.

Pentax K / KA lenses with aperture rings to Leica M body

Olympus OM lenses to Leica M Body

Canon FD / FL lenses to Leica M body

These are new, very well made adapters to use SLR lenses on Leica M mount cameras.     There is no rangefinder coupling,  but TTL metering is maintained.  The adapter brings up the 50mm frameline.  You will most likely want to us an accessory viewfinder matching the focal length of the adapted lens.

Why use it?  To increase your system's versatility, reduce investment.  Wide angles are very usable without the rangefinder coupling due to their great depth of field.   Just use scale focusing on the focusing mount, and you will seldom find yourself out of focus.   If you have a 18, 20, 24, or 28 in your SLR bag that you are happy with, do you really need to spend the extra bucks to get one in Leica mount?    In use the adapter snaps on with precision, though I do wish the spring on the Nikon release was a bit stronger.
