I have 2 Voightlander Leica M to NEX adapters , and have had them for nearly a decade .... if Voightlander made an M to L mount adapter , that would be my first choice as my M to NEX are close focus with infinity lock and all brass and steel , superb quality.
Somehow I got one of these a few weeks ago without having heard anything about it. I knew from your channel that Close-focus adaptors were handy, and I'd heard that LLL were high quality, so I decided that it was time to get one. It's very beautiful, and fastens more confidently than my Novoflex adaptor. I'm keeping the Novoflex for the 35mmF2.5 and backup, but will be using the LLL with the 35mm Nokton II or any heaviier lenses irrespective of whether I need close focus.
Thank you Matt! Perfect timing! Yesterday I tried the 7A adapter with a new vintage lens and was wondering why the lens isn‘t as sharp at infinity as on my M9.
Hi Matt, this Adapter is also very good. And I got it in 1 week. DLX Adapter Leica M Linse an L Mount. It works excellent and gives me peace of mind …. Cheers Peter
The LLL helicoid just arrived a while ago. I am using a Summaron 35mm 2.8 lens on my SL2 and having the chance to close up with this lens makes it even better yet and it's my EDC lens now.
Nice. Ordered this a couple weeks ago, but just received a message that there were some production problems so it will be delayed... good to know you like it, seems to confirm my suspicions that it would be worth the buy and wait :)
Hi guys! I've watched the video, chose and bought myself 7artisan. But I have problem with mounting it to camera Leica SL2-S. Adapter doesn't click on the end and the camera doesn't detect any lens. Did you experienced similar problem?
LLL adapter is much better as 7A is not sharp at infinity. You can try unclick, re click some times to make better connection. In no good return it for refund.
Same downside as Leica, both are fixed. Get the LLL one for the major upside of L mount vs M mount with M mount lenses. Huge benefit of owning an SL series camera.
Im planing to buy a video lens set in M mount to adapt to L. But I am a bit confused with the static vs the movable adapters. Does it mean if I get the static I can’t focus my lenses?
I’ll be looking at this new LLL adapter for sure as the 7Artisan copy I purchased was not able to mount on my SL2 and had to return it. One never has too many adapters. 😊
Even though I'm not lucky enough to shoot Leica, I think your channel is awesome! I'm learning so much from you! If you ever are in Porto and need a place to stay, It would be a pleasure walking the streets with you.
This may be a stupid question but when using non-Leica class on an M10 how imperative is it to manually set a lens up in the "lens detection" menu in the camera? I do it with my non-coded vintage Leica glass but I've recently gotten an adapter for using some of my Canon FD glass on my M. Thanks in advance for your opinion and have a good weekend!
Just wondering if you've done any direct comparison between the Summitar and the very similar Summarit. The Summitar is my sentimental favorite because it came with my parents Leica IIIc they allowed me to use as my first serious camera. It was quite flare prone but IQ seemed fine.
may sound silly, but there's no Adapter M-Mount to M-mount, giving close focus on M-lenses on M-rangefinder cameras (may it at cost of no infinity focus), or is there?
I think the Fotodiox one works the same way as the LLL adapter for a little cheaper? But the inf lock tab on the LLL looks handy. I have a Fotodiox incoming soon. Hope inf works well.
@@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom i see, does it go past inf or doesnt even reach inf? The Fotodiox close focus arrived and its nice but it can go past inf if twisted a touch too far. Does the LLL do that too?
Hi Matt, thanks for the video. How close do you really get with the LLL adapter? For example let’s take a normal Leica M Lens with 0.7m - is it 0.4 or even 0.3m with adapter? I do a lot of wristshots of watches handheld hence the question. Thanks!
You have a defective close-up adapter, my adapter works on infinity. Of course, you lose the benefits of the in-camera correction with 6bit-coded lenses by not using the Leica adapter.
@@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom i was installing the waist level finder. And the darn focus screen fell out. I think this particular bronica sqb is cursed. The speed grip fell out of my hand and bent the winding lever. Topping it off a plastic lever broke off in transit. I love my etr and gs-1 but this 6x6 sqb is frustrating me.
@@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom bronica usually is. I have had the 6x7 and 645 variants for decades. About to print some tests from the sqb. just waiting on permawash to dissolve
Servus Matt✌ Aber Unendlichkeit funktioniert in dem Fall nichtß Ich nutz zum Beispiel auch einen Helicoid für M42 Objektive normal kann ich es ja auch an der M240 nutzen Adapter LM/M42 zusätzlich Helicoid jedoch nur im Nahbereich😉 Ich weiß nicht wie daa bei dem Adapter ist was Du gezeigt hast. Mega Video wie immer Matt. Lg Anderl
@@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom the normal adapters from M42/LM and Exa/LM work at infinity on the M240, but not the Helicoid as they are only intended for close-up or macro use.
Hey Matt, how's the quality of the Leica adapter vs LLL? LLL seems to be made of brass, so probably feels more solid? I cannot find anywhere what the Leica adapter is made out of. Would you think that they are comparable if money is no object, the Leica feels a bit better? Keep in mind i don't need the 6-bit encoding as my glass is all Zeiss.

Great! You’re ahead of the game! Yes very nice product, I’m very happy
I have the M to L, the R to L and the S to L. You should try the Leica S 120Macro on the Sl. Beautiful portrait lens
Great! Yes would be nice to try the S lenses on the SL. I’ve used them on the S bodies and amazing!
Thank you Matt! Perfect timing! Yesterday I tried the 7A adapter with a new vintage lens and was wondering why the lens isn‘t as sharp at infinity as on my M9.

Brilliant! Have to have it! Oh, wait, it's sold out.... have to keep checking back thanks.
Yes! They don’t start shipping until the end of April (new product)
Just wanna say THANK YOU for doing these tests, also...great photos ! And I have decided to buy the LL adapter because of your video. Subscribed too !
Thanks and no problem!

Hi Matt, any downsides to using the novaflex adapter versus the Leica adapter when using m lenses on a SL2-s?
Same downside as Leica, both are fixed. Get the LLL one for the major upside of L mount vs M mount with M mount lenses. Huge benefit of owning an SL series camera.
How solid is the adapter, is it strong enough to handle bigger lenses like a noctilux 0.95 without any flexing?
Yes I use bigger lenses than that, no issue. Get money off with the link below.
Im planing to buy a video lens set in M mount to adapt to L. But I am a bit confused with the static vs the movable adapters. Does it mean if I get the static I can’t focus my lenses?
Get the LLL one via the link as you can focus ALL lenses closer than lens design. Great for DOF etc / detail shots
I’ll be looking at this new LLL adapter for sure as the 7Artisan copy I purchased was not able to mount on my SL2 and had to return it. One never has too many adapters. 😊
Sorry to hear you had problems
really like this video!! have you ever experience the auto iso stuck in 100 while you using any of these adaptors?
Thanks. No they are not related so if it happened it’s the camera not adapter.
Good video Matt. 🤗
Thanks Chris!
Great video! Hey…what flash did you have mounted to your SL in the video?
Thanks! I think it was a cheap flash from eBay. 2 AA battery one.
Even though I'm not lucky enough to shoot Leica, I think your channel is awesome! I'm learning so much from you! If you ever are in Porto and need a place to stay, It would be a pleasure walking the streets with you.
Thanks that’s very kind!
Matt, can you still use the top wheels on the CL to bring up the magnification with the new adapter? Thanks
No for non-Leica adapters you need to use the top arrow instead (on the back)
Thank you for the reply. Do you find magnifying with the arrow key compromised the ergonomic ?
Do you prefer to use the top wheels or the arrow key to magnify? Thanks
@@24fps81 either but I much prefer the ability to close focus so I use this adapter + arrows
@@24fps81 no you get used to it

Not important, I normally have mine as off. ..but it would be nice to remember what lens I used.
Just wondering if you've done any direct comparison between the Summitar and the very similar Summarit. The Summitar is my sentimental favorite because it came with my parents Leica IIIc they allowed me to use as my first serious camera. It was quite flare prone but IQ seemed fine.
I own both, Summarit is sharper at wider apertures but gives a sharp soft look wide open
may sound silly, but there's no Adapter M-Mount to M-mount, giving close focus on M-lenses on M-rangefinder cameras (may it at cost of no infinity focus), or is there?
No sorry, see my Leica close focus adapters video. (You can do M-M for very macro/ no infinity)
I think the Fotodiox one works the same way as the LLL adapter for a little cheaper? But the inf lock tab on the LLL looks handy. I have a Fotodiox incoming soon. Hope inf works well.

Great video, thank you!! Question regarding 1 generation newer 24MP bodies: do you think focusing is more straightforward with an SL2-S or S5II?
Thanks! AF might be slightly faster but old models are good for me.
@@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom Hi Matt, my question was with regards to manual focus lenses (m-mount), not AF lenses. Your thoughts?
@@gvz1538 any SL or I think S1R too, not S5/ II, my S5 is nowhere near as good as the old SL with MF focusing

Mine is fine (7artisan). Same as leica18771 which is slightly over infinite.
My 7 Artisan adapter also focuses to infinity on my SL 601. I wouldn’t give it up for a LLL that doesn’t focus as close.
Interesting. It almost works at infinity. I don’t use lens corrections
In theory using an adapter. I should be able to use this on any L mount cameras? For example BMPCC 6k Full Frame?
Hi, yes ofc, it's full mechanical.
Feeding the algorithm. I just dropped 250 bucks for a bronica waist level finder. I was annoyed till I priced hassy glass.
Hassy focus screens are crazy expensive!

If they can make an auto focus adapter for m lenses on sony bodies, why can we have an auto Fuchs adapter for m lenses on L mount ????
Yes no AF adapters for L mount yet (I think) LLL are more traditional quality brass and glass products.

It’s not started shipping yet, they said in 2 weeks
there are no M-L Leica adapters in the world for sale. So using ithers wont give your L camera any information
Some M-LTM adapters are coded if that’s what you mean?
..Leica M-L adapters are the normal coded ones

No upside to get the Leica so go with the LLL. Leica one is fixed so offers no benefit. Both are solid and no issues.
