Questions & Answers

ANDREW Z : Will this adapter work with Panasonic L-mount cameras and Voigtlander M-mount lenses?Dutch D : The short answer is YES. There is a L mount alliance between sigma, panasonic and leica. google it and you should see
GORDON M : Does it also work for the SL2 and SL2-s?JOHN W : Dear Gordon, First, the Leica machining quality is superb (read: no light leaks) and the adapter works perfectly. Positive locking/unlocking. Most notable is the new version 3 firmware update for the SL2 which has improved recognition of the coded Leica M lenses to 100%. The previous firmware was sketchy in the Leica coded lens recognition dept. I do not know about auto lens recognition for any other brands other than Leica. I suppose the L alliance should accommodate non-Leica brand coded lenses, just don't know (Adobe PS has a custom optical control for anything the camera doesn't) . IF that is an issue for you I would advise contacting Leica or reading up on Blogs for the latest. Best of luck. One more note Gordon, the M lenses weight balanced on the SL2 body is a pleasure surprise and of course the glass is superb as the IBIS is "in camera", if you should want to use it. So, the M to L marriage is particularly good on a tripod (IBIS OFF) using the magnified LCD (under a hood) to get the most accurate hyperfocal distance settings on the lens barrel. Buy the best and cry once, Be happy! John Buy one of these, while you are at it : Giottos Rocket Air BlasterDANIEL L : L adaptor works perfectly on the SL2 and SL2-S.Adam B : Yes, I've used this on the SL2-S which has the same body as the non-S
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?BILL B : It is the best adapter to use when mounting a Leica M lens on any of the Leica SL family of camera bodies.RICHARD J : needed itLAWRENCE A : Will read my 6 bit encoded M lenses.LAWRENCE A : So I can use M lenses on L mount camera.PEDRO C : Had m lenses wantbtobuse in my sigma L mount cameraFerdinando R : We need itRICHARD W : Have M lensesDANIEL L : Allows to take advantage of lighter weight M lens. Very easy to manual focus of SL2sDarryl K : It will be used on my SL. I would never use a third party on my Leica.

You only need to buy one.

Works as it should and predictably well made despite its ridiculous price.

No one can pass the buck when it doesn't work. Cross platforming cameras and lens designed to be used that way.

Since the beginning of the Sony A7R platform and the possibility of hybridizing the Sony line with Leica M lens, the adapter has proven to be the critical link. Novaflex makes the best adapters I've used for this purpose, until now. I am using the Leica SL2 with the LeicaM-Adapter-T and would add that this adapter, is superb, allowing electric data transfer and as well as an unimaginable snug fit. When you can stay within a given system my best advise would be do that. Why? If there is a problem in any part of a system chain (even with Leica SL2 to M cross platforming) you have only one manufacturer to take responsibility and deal with the issue(s).
