Questions & Answers

FAQ

Will the FotodioX Mount Adapter allow my Nikon F lenses to auto-focus on a Leica M camera body?

No, the adapter allows for a physical fit between the lens and camera body but automatic functions such as auto-focus will not operate correctly. You can use the 'stop-down mode' for metering and shoot in manual mode or aperture priority mode.

What is the advantage of using larger format lenses on smaller format sensors?

Using larger format lenses on smaller format sensors can result in superior edge-to-edge sharpness. The smaller image field helps minimize the effects of lens distortion and aberration by using the 'sweet spot' or center of the larger lens image circle.

Is the FotodioX Mount Adapter durable?

Yes, the FotodioX Mount Adapter is made with high standard precision. Its all-metal design and polished surface is designed to guarantee smooth mounting and long-lasting experiences.

Can I use my existing Nikon F lenses with a Leica M camera body using the FotodioX Mount Adapter?

Yes, the FotodioX Mount Adapter allows you to use your existing Nikon F lenses with a Leica M camera body. This is a cost-effective way to expand your lens options without the need for new lens purchases.

JAMES S : Would this adapter permit full use of the AF-S Zoom-NIKKOR 17–35mm f/2.8D IF-ED lens on a Leica M camera?TAMI H : I am using this for a manual focus Voigtlander 58mm for Nikon so it can be used on a M mount Leica bodyMatej S : I'm using only manual focus lenses. Don't think it will work for you.ANDREW R : Full use? No. Although the lens will fit physically, automatic diaphragm, auto-focusing or any other functions will not operate correctly while using this adapter. In this case "stop-down mode" will need to be used when metering since the lens does not have the ability to have its aperture controlled by the camera body. You can shoot with manual mode or aperture priority mode.

Working well. Perfect match of the focus at infinity with manual focus Micro-Nikkor 200 mm on Leica M10.

Solid Adapter

I am a semi-pro who has decided to use a Leica M instead of a Canon as my main camera. I know I'm crazy for that, but hey, the platform inspires me like no other, and people have been noticing. When faced with an array of unpleasant options for getting more lenses, this adapter allowed me to dust of my sweet vintage Nikon lenses and put them to digital use. Zero frills, not fragile, not over-engineered, clicks in like a dream every time. There really isn't much to say about this little guy other than: "It works."

For photography enthusiasts and professionals seeking to maximize their equipment's potential, the FotodioX Mount Adapter is an invaluable tool. This high-quality adapter allows you to seamlessly connect your Nikon F lenses to a Leica M camera body, expanding your photographic capabilities and breathing new life into your existing lens collection.

Constructed with precision and a keen attention to detail, this mount adapter is designed to ensure a smooth, secure connection between your camera and lens. Its all-metal design and polished surface not only provide durability but also ensure a long-lasting, reliable performance.

The FotodioX Mount Adapter offers a unique advantage by enabling the use of larger format lenses on smaller format sensors. This results in exceptional edge-to-edge sharpness as the smaller image field helps minimize the effects of lens distortion and aberration. By utilizing the 'sweet spot' or center of the larger lens image circle, you can achieve superior image quality that certain prime lenses simply can't replicate.

While this adapter allows for a physical fit between your Nikon F lenses and Leica M camera body, please note that automatic diaphragm, auto-focusing, or other automated functions will not operate correctly. However, this is easily managed by using the "stop-down mode" when metering, as the lens does not have the ability to have its aperture controlled by the camera body. You can continue to shoot in manual mode or aperture priority mode, ensuring you retain full control over your photographic output.

In summary, the FotodioX Mount Adapter is a versatile tool that allows photographers to expand their lens options without the need for costly new purchases. It's a smart, cost-effective solution for those looking to get the most out of their Nikon F lenses and Leica M camera bodies.
