Adapter to fit Leica R bayonet mount lens or accessories to Canon EOS Camera Body
(EF mount including all film and digital models)

This brand new adapter will allow you to use Leica R mount lenses and macro accessories on Canon EOS cameras.

The adapter allows focusing to infinity.

You will need to set focus manually by visual estimate. For the camera focus confirmation lights to operate you need the AF Confirm version of this adapter - see my other auctions.

Lenses that will not work with full format film and digital cameras (e.g. 1d and 5d): Before mounting any lens to full format film or digital cameras you should check that no part of the lens protrudes behind the adapter bayonet else it may contact the camera reflex mirror causing lock up and possibly damage. Lenses believed to have this problem include 15/3.5, 16/2.8, 19/2.8 Second Version, 21/4 Mirror Lock Up Version, 35/1.4, 35-70/2.8, 80-200/4.5 First Version. The 24/2.8 and 28-70/3.5-4.5 (2nd version) will not work because the rear element protective guard hits the mirror. The 21-35/3.5 Aspherical and 28-90/2.8-4.5 Aspherical is reported not to work on the 1Ds Mk II. Keep in mind there are minor design changes during a lens' lifetime (most of which are not reported by manufacturers), and so the changes are unknown to the public.
Problem lenses should be okay to use with 22mm imaging chip Canon cameras (10d through to 450d) owing to the smaller reflex mirror size.

If you find LR mount lenses which will not mount safely on the EOS adapters, let me know and I will add to this description.

Waffle
Old mechanical lenses generally have optics every bit as good as their modern equivalents so grab a bargain on eBay then get one of my adapters to use it on your Canon EF mount camera. Manually set the lens aperture as required. Use large apertures for low light or when you want a defocussed background e.g. for a portrait shot. Use small apertures in bright light or if you want a longer exposure for instance to blur an aircraft propeller or the background of a fast moving racing car. Use the camera's Av mode for automatic exposure. You will need to set focus by hand. This takes a little practice as the modern viewfinders are not so easy to judge as the old split focus type. Using smaller apertures considerably increases your margin for error. For reliable pin-sharp focus select an AF Confirm adapter which will activate the focus lights in your viewfinder.

Protect your lens with a UV filter
Our nearly transparent filter (at optical wavelengths) blocks ultra violet glare that your camera can see.
This essential fit and forget item will protect your valuable lens from dust and dings. Just "request total from seller" stating the size(s) required and I will add the price to your payment. Free postage on filters when bought with an adapter. New item threaded both sides supplied in clear plastic box.
52mm, 55mm, 58mm GBP 2.00
62mm, 67mm, 77mm GBP 2.50
