This video shows me using Leica R lenses on M cameras. Leica Elmarit-R 135mm f2.8, Leica Summicron-R 50mm f2 (v1), Leica Summicron R 35mm f2 and Leica Elmarit R 24mm f2.8 - All of these lenses I use on the Leica M240 camera but they will also work with a Leica M10 if you want to use the EVF or LiveView. For wide Leica R lenses you could use the Leica M8, Leica M9 and even Leica M6 and other Leica M film cameras but you need to zone focus. Leica R lenses are not rangefinder coupled. See the end of the video for Leica R lens photography and photos with Leica R lens on the M240.

Thanks Matt, I was looking forward to see you testing R-lenses on the L-mount cameras you own and bought a 60mm f/2.8 Macro-Elmarit-R together with a cheap adapter just for fun. With the adapter measuring a full inch in depth and the heavy glass, it is quite challenging to take pictures, but I am very happy with the results. Looking forward to see you do the same on your SL and Panasonic. Let's hope the R's remain at that price level! Cheers.

I do similar things between M and R lenses. I have several Leicaflex bodies-SL and SL2 both Mot and normal) along with the M5 and recent MP. With adapters I wind up using either R or M lenses on my Leica mirror-less bodies-SL and SL2-S. Novoflex makes excellent adapters. I also use the Leica M to SL adapters in order to speed up lens changes-as they have the 6-bit decoders. I also use some Novoflex daters to adapt Zeiss (Hassy) l sees to my SLs, as well as the Nikon F to Leica M adapter., for some very exotic Nikkor glass.
@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom
@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom 3 года назад

Thanks for this info Matt. Thinking to buy an R mount 135mm for gimbal work. We have the 90M mount and the lens barrel extends 3-4 cm when focusing which upsets the balance a little. I wanted to ask if you wouldn’t mind to let us know how many cm the lens barrel extends on the 135 R mount? Thanks much!

@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom
@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom 2 года назад
Hi Nghiem, good question. You can zone focus any lens on the M and a good adapter should mount the lens so the lens numbers face up so you can read them. From memory I have done this with the 24mm R lens on the M. If you have M240/M10 etc with LiveView you can check focus on LCD.

Hi Matt. Congrats on your SL purchase this summer. I have an SL2. Not happy with options for the 70-200mm zoom range. Checking out the Leica Vario-Elmar-R 80-200mm/f4.0 ROM. Do you have any thoughts for ease of use and data transfer between the Leica R-Adapter L and the Novoflex version? I realize the price difference but I'm more concerned with quality and ability between my SL2 and an R-lens.
@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom
@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom 2 года назад
Hi Peter, thank you! Yes I have the 80-200, great optics especially stopped down a little. Yes its ROM so gives EXIF on Leica or Novaflex. Much cheaper than SL version but no AF if you want that.

​@@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom Thanks! I been searching for the difference between the two adapters and so far, the limited info indicated only the Leica adapter gave EXIF to the images. The images of the Novoflex R to L body don't show any coding. The Novoflex R to M does show coding.

R mount lenses will adapt to Canon EOS bodies too (manual aperture only). Note that the R mount zoom lenses are Minolta optics, the Minolta mount version likely being cheaper than the Leitz branded version if you intend to adapt to a mirrorless camera.

FotodioX makes the same M/R adapter for 1/10th of the price Novoflex is asking for. I have no experience with this specific adapter but use several FotodioX adapters for Sony E-mount without ever having an issue. Supposedly the Leitz 21 Super-Angulon R-lenses are highly regarded to be used on digital M cameras with adapter.

Thanks, yes I’ve nothing against cheap adapters and do have some but I read a bad review for this so thought better pay a bit more as it will be well used. I had the 80-200 zoom that I shared in an earlier vid so that puts a lot of strain on the mount. Thanks about the 21mm!

Another excellent video. Q: What adapter do you use to mount R-lenses on the L-mount S5? I use an SL in addition to my M cameras. I have two third party lens adapters (Fotasy L-R and HaoPe L-R) that "over focus" infinity. Depending on lens (I have 4). If I set distance to infinity, the images are blurry with all as they're OUT of focus. It is only when I set the distance to between 3-8 meters (depending on lens) that I have infinity IN focus. I am contemplating the expensive Leica branded adapter, but am not convinced it won't have the same problem. I have found that I don't have the same problem when I stack my Leica branded L-M together with K&F M-R as it focuses correctly at infinity.

Nice overview. I already started to get some R lenses, namely the MACRO-ELMARIT-R 1:2.8 / 60 and the ELMARIT-R 1:2.8 / 135, to shoot with my Leica SL (Typ 601) after getting some PENTAX K Mount lenses to expand my already existent portfolio of MF Nikkors and Leica M lenses which now can all be used on a superb digital body.

I have to admit that the plastic Nikkor has the nicest bokeh rendering of the bunch, the rest is pretty close with their octagons, the PENTAX and the Leitz have more CAs as they are older. If I’d like to have the ultimate quality and like to carry double the lens weight I will always prefer a real pro 135mm like my 135mm 1:2 Ai-S or one of the similar ones from Pentax * or Zeiss. Leica has sadly nothing comparable to offer in the 135 range.

I highly recommend trying the 60mm Macro Elmarit R if you can get a hold of one for a reasonable price. Might just be my favourite all-purpose Leica lens ever made. Super versatile with the close focusing range, and lovely rendering, of course :-) I use it on my M240 all the time. The 50mm Summilux-R is also absolutely amazing btw. Less than half the price of the M version, but the rendering is basically identical and you get 45cm close focusing range!

Speaking of Leica/Leitz lenses and comparing them in general is virtually impossible. And a comparison between R- and M-lenses is equally problmatic. Summicrons, whether for R or M are not Elmarits, and not Elmars either. And even among the various Elmarits f.i. there is a huge diffference. The newer "models" of the Elmarit R 2,8/25mm are far, far superior to the older ones (and I've got two models, though not the one with the collapsible sunshade. Leica-specialst Thorsten von Overgaard says that R-lenses might even be better than those of the Mś because of their size, which coincides with my own experience with Leitz/Leica (plus 50 years). The late Erwin Puts wrote endlessly about all the characteristics of Leitz/Leica lenses. The sure thing using those lenses is, that one has some very high quality stuff in hands, and making a decent picture, that really stands out, wont't be a problem at all.

@@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom Hi Matt, yeah, Leicas are special, that's for sure. Last Thursday I participated in a photowalk, initiated by Thorsten von Overgaard in Amsterdam I took my R4 and R6 and the Elmarit-R 28-70, loaded with Agfapan 400, developed in my good old soup, Rodinal, scanned them on an Epson, and enjoyed (at least some) of the results. Of the 22 participants, I was the only one using Leicaflexes, some people didn't even know that one could still buy film!! I look forward to the results of the participants sporting all kinds of digital Leicas.

I appreciate Matt Osborne's Leica talks. But although English is my mother tongue I find it difficult to understand what he is saying. A speech therapist could help here in one session. Outside of that, thumbs up all the way.

interesting that you stuck with the M240 for so long. I'd think that the M10 would have seduced you by now

Ha yes. The CL saved me and bought me 3 years! I think that because film is my main interest I get less GAS for digital.

@@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom I’ve had a good think about first coming across your videos and retro cameras. If i buy a Nikon for €100, each time i want get a roll developed. Ill have but the roll for €10 and sent if off to be developed for €10. So every time its €20. I don’t think ill get my return of investment. I want one for everyday use for the kids around the house and days out. Unless you have another idea ? 🙈 I’d love noting more and a retro camera.

I know that your voice is not optional for you but as a hearing impaired person, your voice is unintelligible. Maybe you could use a different audio setup or text to speech. I am very interested in the topic but cannot decipher your audio.
