More on adaptors for Leica bodiesgreenspun.com : LUSENET : Leica Photography : One Thread |
Its me again. Regarding my question if there is any adaptors for Leica bodies, I would appreciate information not only for a Nikkor adaptor, but basically for any other brand of lenses. Thanks! Ricardo. r_villagran@yahoo.com

In the Leica Compendium, Jonothan Eastland shows a photo of a Nikon lens to Leica body adaptor which he rigged from a Nikon extension ring united to a Leica M bayonet mount. He says it worked, but apparently had some problems, like falling apart, and only working at infinity focus. Of course, the nikon lenses will have no focusing cams to mate with the Leica M cam follower inside the camera. But if need be, it is apparently possible.
