Adapter
Aug 2, 2012 17:48:43 #
I have a Leica M6, which is a film-camera. Right now I am using Canon 5D MKII all the time and don't use Leica any more. I am looking for an adapter that would fit the Leica's lens and could be attached to the Canon's body. I wonder anybody know where I can find such an adapter. Your help is much appreciated. Thank you.

I know there is an adapter for Leica R series not for M series. Mine camera is a M series.

Your lenses cannot be used on the Canon - there is no adapter because the RF lenses focus at a closer lens to film distance than the SLR Canon. IF there was an adapter in would only macro focus or very close-up.

Not to contradict you but check out my previous post link:

appears to say you are in error. :roll:
Description says "no glass" and "infinity focus guaranteed".
