After integrating the FotodioX Mount Adapter into your photography gear, you can expand the potential of your Leica M-Series camera by attaching Pentax K lenses. This precision-crafted adapter is designed to bridge the gap between your high-quality Pentax glass and the renowned Leica M system, offering a cost-effective solution to enhance your camera's versatility without the need to invest in additional lenses.The adapter's robust construction features an all-metal design with a polished surface to ensure a secure and smooth connection between the lens and camera body. The meticulous engineering includes a leaf spring mechanism that maintains a tight fit, eliminating any unwanted play and ensuring stable performance.Optimized for compatibility with a wide array of lenses, this adapter excels in adapting larger format lenses to smaller format sensors. By doing so, it harnesses the 'sweet spot' of the lens, delivering exceptional edge-to-edge sharpness and reducing the impact of lens distortion and aberration. This makes it an ideal choice for photographers who demand the highest image quality.While the adapter enables physical connection of Pentax K lenses to Leica M-Series cameras, it's important to note that certain automatic functions, such as auto diaphragm and auto-focusing, will not be operational. The adapter requires manual focus and the use of "stop-down mode" for accurate metering, as the aperture cannot be controlled by the camera body. This encourages a more hands-on approach, allowing photographers to engage with manual mode or aperture priority mode for a more intentional and controlled photographic experience.Please be aware that, as noted in user reviews, this adapter does not couple to the rangefinder, so focusing will need to be estimated or achieved using alternative focusing aids. Despite this, the FotodioX Mount Adapter remains an invaluable tool for photographers looking to leverage their existing collection of Pentax K lenses with the quality and finesse of Leica M-Series cameras.

It probably works well on other cameras, but you have to guess the focus. It doesn't couple to the rangefinder.
