K&F Concept Lens Mount Adapter for Leica M LM Mount Lens to Micro Four Thirds (MFT, M4/3) Mount Mirrorless Camera Compatible for Panasonic Lumix M4/3 camera

Product Information

The L-Mount has some great kit for those that need the extras that it can produce but the reality is that chasing a rainbow by buying and re-selling kit is an expensive way to travel and the only pot of gold is where the rainbow has shifted to before you find its source. Affordable 35mm f1.8 and 50mm f1.8 anamorphic lenses now available pre-converted to RF mount by UK lens specialists I bought Jintu (MF only) and Commlite (AF) for EF-M4/3 the Jintu was uber-cheap and did exactly what it promised - made EF lenses into MF lenses with aperture control. The Commlite was a little more expensive, gave the same MF control and some AF with some EF mount lenses. This was pre-firmware update port. There was no issue with build quality on either brand, but they seem to have been built from the same components.

The M-adaptor-L is pricey, but it bring 6-bit coding to the camera directly, so M-mount lens profile can be loaded directly on the file. After having discussed and detailed all the lenses for the main and the most famous brands, we move on to the brands that I consider as secondary. Leica is a German brand known for offering quality cameras and lenses at a high cost.

Comments

Given this we know that more recent lenses such as the Canon EF 40/2.8 pancake; 50/1.8 STM and 100/2.8 L Macro - work very well on all adapters and that the Commlite is unlikely to be any different. On the other hand the Canon 180/3.5 L Macro (for example) is not so easy - hereby claimed as compatible - this particular lens is not so easily made an S-AF wonder. I have one, but this is a comparatively rare lens and I wonder if even Commlite has had access to this or many others on their list so that they can affirm so easily as to make such an extensive list to impress those who might only own one or more of the more common easier to adapt lenses. Hands up who else has one of these lenses .... In the wake of the sale of Olympus' Imaging Division, Panasonic has been strangely quiet on the topic. What are their intentions for MFT as a platform, and will they develop it going forward? To understand what might happen, we need to understand Panasonic's approach to date. In particular, it is worth remembering that they have a long history with Four Thirds, releasing their first DSLR (DMC-L1) in 2006, which shared components with Olympus' models. Barely two years later, the MFT standard was released, and Panasonic was first to market. It's possible that video wasn't uppermost in Panasonic's mind upon release of the G1, as it suffered from slow autofocus and poor battery life. However, barely six months, later the flagship GH-1 was launched, touting strong video capabilities. Panasonic's intent was clear, and it has developed this with each iteration. It's worth speculating who was driving the partnership between Panasonic and Olympus. MFT offered significant advantages for video, and Panasonic has had a clear and consistent development path. A 37,5mm lens is harder to find, but then there is the 40mm class... I have an Konica Hexanon 40mm F1.8, quite nice lens. And I had the Oly Zuiko 40mm F2, loved it. It's pertinent at this point to remember that camera systems are not standalone products in their design or manufacturing. Businesses operate, to a greater or lesser extent, in a highly integrated market where one manufacturer becomes a supplier to another. Nikon uses Sony sensors, Leica designs for smartphones, Cosina manufacturers lenses and cameras for a range of brands, and Olympus and Panasonic share a common lens mount. In fact, Olympus and Panasonic jointly released the MFT standard in 2008, with the Lumix G1 first to market in November 2008, followed by Olympus' E-P1 in June 2009. MFT cameras and lenses have since been manufactured by a number of different businesses where the wide lens support and small size are valued. The FOV of the Oly FT 35mm is equal to 70mm lens in FF format - as you asked. For a wide angle, 35mm equal, you'll need an 17(,5)mm lens. It does not matter for which format the lens is made, just the focal lenght.

I started my adapted lens journey with the Micro Four Thirds ( MFT) camera system around Year 2009. Being an early mirrorless system user, I learnt about a pandora range of lens adaptors and their possibilities. Given the short flange focal distance between lens mount and image sensor, almost all lens mounts area adaptable to the MFT system, with limitation only on very small format not covering the MFT sensor. Live-view operation allows through the lens focusing, metering to bridge the gap between analog and digital photography Yeah, leading up to confirmation of L-mount there was a discussion on this. Basically if Panasonic cared, there would be things they could perhaps do. Their original adapters EF-E/FE were not very good, they have always proclaimed that they were compatible with a huge range of lenses - even lenses that few (including Commlite and even Metabones could not afford to buy and test), most likely they will not work well with more rare lenses but so few own them that the sad story will never be told.Super powerful compatibility. Suitable for use on Canon EOS M mirrorless camera, you can transfer the EF/EF-S lens group to your Canon EOS M mirrorless camera, allowing you to shoot more beautiful works through the new combination;

During those early days, I adapted my film M42 screw mount lenses. I got into c-mount 16mm cine lenses. Tried out some Nikon F mount lenses. But more importantly, understand the philosophy of small, light and high quality Leica/Canon/Nikon/Voigtlander/Zeiss screw and M-mount lenses. M-mount and M39 screw mount lenses If you need to adapt a lens, names like Wooden Camera, Duclos, Fotodiox, and Metabones come to mind. But if you're in the U.K., MTF Services probably shoots to the top. The RF-mount-converted lenses join the existing L-mount-converted Sirui anamorphic lenses announced earlier this week. MTF Services also convert the widely used Fujinon MK 18-55 T2.9 and MK 50-135mm T2.9 Cine zoom lenses to both RF and L-mount, broadening the lens options available to users. Canon M System - maybe but you are giving up a lot of features and the EOS-M lens lineup doesn't leave a lot of room for growth The Commlite adapters of yester-year did not have a particularly good reputation for compatibility and did not have a firmware update port. Their main selling point was that they were cheap and most likely worked AF some common-enough EF mount lenses and provided aperture control, image stabilisation and MF on all but fly-by-wire apertures.

Addition of the brand new Sigma 60-600mm f/4.5-6.3 DG DN OS Sports L for Panasonic, Sigma and Leica L-mount cameras. This lens is released in the same time as the FE version for Sony Full Frame mirrorless cameras. In fact, this lens was already available for Nikon and Canon DSLR cameras, for both EF and F mount.
