Beware: NOT recommended

It does not fit my actual German-made Leica bayonet mount that fits perfectly well on an actual Leica body. It might work with non-Leica-built M-mounts such as Cosina-Voightlander lenses but I don't know or care about that. With a Leica-built bayonet the lens engages the adapter for a small fraction of a turn, but hits a hard stop long befor engaging enuf to actually latch in place. Also, the focus travel of the helical is verrrrry short.

Close focus works fine. Well made adapter.

As advertised, this adapter allows M-mount lenses to close focus on E-mount cameras - in my case an A7. It's well made and fits nicely - not too tight, not too lose. The lens/adapter is secure and feels solid I don't worry about the thing getting stuck on the lens or the camera. The added closeness is very nice, but not macro close. Shorter focal lengths show more effect, obviously. If you're not interested the close focus benefits, there are less expensive alternatives - e.g., the Voithglander VM Adapter II, which is a little more refined feeling. Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised that an economy product from China is as good as it is, which is certainly good enough. I am not super-fussy about planarity. Used on an A7 R you might see issues.

Good adapter

I first tried a Metabones Leica M to Sony E mount adapter, but it was extremely tight on the lens side. Then I get this Kipon and I am quite happy with it. Both lens side and camera side are very smooth. It also looks better than Metabones in my opinion. One thing I notice is the Kipon is significantly lighter than Metabones. My guess is the Kipon is made of aluminum and Metabones is made of brass. While the Kipon is well build, the Metabones is solid like a rock. Of course, I prefer a adapter that actually works to one that feels good in hand but does not work, so I am keeping the Kipon.

Fit's well no play on the camera and no play with the lens.

Nowadays, as the number of people using interchangeable lens digital cameras increases, proprietary combinations of camera lenses and bodies are no longer able to satisfy the increasingly sophisticated demands of the many photography enthusiasts. The use of lens adapters have given users full rein of customizing their equipment to best fulfill their needs through different combinations of lenses and camera bodies.

However, although individual camera manufacturers havecreated their own customized adapters, combining lenses and camera bodies of different manufacture has become an ever expanding challenge. At KIPON, a world-renown camera adapter manufacturer, we have developed over 400 types of adapters. With our various adapters, we offer our users the freedom and compatibility of lenses and camera bodies that transcends different times and manufacturers. We have made possible not only the interchangeable use of products across brands but also the use of traditional film lenses.

KIPON offers a full line of camera lens adapters including macro adapters, electronic adapters, adapters with integrated glass, optical focal reduction adapters, adapters with built in aperture control, tilt/shift adapters, tilt adapters, and shift adapters.

The KIPON L/M-NEX adapter mounts Leica M series lenses on Sony E mount NEX series mirrorless camera bodies. Please note that after mounting the adapter only manual focus will be accessible when shooting.

All KIPON adapters undergo the CNC turning center procedure during manufacturing to provide our customers with only the utmost precision and quality. We guarantee an ideal fitting between cameras and lenses to maintain the ease and accuracy of photography. All adapters are made of brass and/or aluminum alloy.

Please note that not all camera models and lenses are compatible with this adapter. Please take extra care when attempting to use any adapter with wide angle and fisheye lenses. Please contact our lens specialists if you have any questions regarding compatibility.
