Previously using Leica’s own 28-90mm LTM to M adapter with infinity catch cutout through a Leica M adapter L, I got erratic “unknown lens detected” messages in a Leica SL camera. I was adapting a chrome-finish 90mm f/2 Summicron v2 from 1959, and was getting reflections at the cutout that were confusing the 6-bit lens detection. The Fotodiox 28-90mm LTM to M adapter has no cutout, and works perfectly - no erratic unknown lens messages. It’s also machined well enough to fit perfectly without excessive tightness or slop, unlike some other cheap Asian imports. Highly recommended.

You can unlock the full potential of your SLR or DSLR camera with the FotodioX Mount Adapter, designed to seamlessly connect your Leica M39 28mm/90mm lens to a Leica M camera body. This versatile adapter opens up a world of photographic possibilities, allowing you to utilize your existing lenses across different camera bodies, thereby saving you the expense of investing in new lenses.
The FotodioX Mount Adapter is part of our extensive range of high-quality adapters, designed to facilitate the use of larger format lenses on smaller format sensors. This unique feature enhances edge-to-edge sharpness and minimizes lens distortion and aberration by utilizing the 'sweet spot' or the center of the larger lens image circle.
Crafted with precision, the FotodioX Pro Lens Mount Adapter features a leaf spring design that securely holds the lens to the camera body, eliminating any play between the two. Its robust all-metal construction and polished surface ensure smooth mounting and durability for long-lasting use.
This specific adapter is designed for a Leica 28mm/90mm M39 Mount Lens to fit on a Leica M camera body. It includes appropriate viewfinder frame lines on the enabled camera body and also incorporates Leica's '6-bit Coding' indents. These indents can be painted (black/white) to emulate a variety of Leica M lenses, optimizing image quality.
Please note that while the lens will fit physically, automatic diaphragm, auto-focusing, or any other functions will not operate correctly while using this adapter. In such cases, the "stop-down mode" will need to be used when metering, as the lens does not have the ability to have its aperture controlled by the camera body. Importantly, this adapter does not contain correction glass, ensuring that the original optical quality of the lens is preserved.
In summary, the FotodioX Mount Adapter is an essential tool for photographers looking to maximize the versatility and performance of their camera equipment.
