David,
I tried a Leica --> Canon D20 adaptor, but it would not accept a lens
with a protruding rear end, such as the Vario 15-35mm zoom. What is your
experience with this? Are you able to mount all current generation Leica
lenses?
Regards,
Tim

Hi Tamislav!
As I understand the problem, the Nikon lens mount is less than 1mm closer
to the film/sensor plane than the Leica-R mount. This does not leave
enough space to make an adapter that will focus to infinity with -R mount
lenses. You can, with a series of adapters, mount older Visoflex (short
mouont) glass that will focus to infinity, and you can mount R lenses if
you wish close focus only.
To my knowledge the Canon EOS line is the only SLR that has a wide enough
lens mount, and a registration (lens flange to film/sensor plane)
distance short enough to enable successful adaptation with Leica-R lenses
while maintaining infinity focus. I understand that this may also be
possible with the Olympus E-1 system, as well.
Hope this helps.
Cheers!
David.

Hi:
After the readings of all of the people on this Site, seems that we are
all in some transitional period of having certain Optical System and by
trying to adjust ourselves on new upcoming technology,..
I am owner of LEICA- R Photo Gear as well as Nikon Digital.
Being tired of waiting 4 Laicas Digital Back-R, I was thinking of
LEICA/Lense/- NIKON COMBO with adapter,...
I called Stephen Gandy, adn he told me to FORGET ABOUT IT!?
Is anyone there who knows where to get the Adapter 4 LEICA- R Lenses with
NIKON D2Hs Body?
Thanks in advance!
