Use SLR lenses on Leica M or Screw Mount Rangefinder Bodies: including "Leica Copies" like the Hexar RF, Minolta CLE, Canon Screw Mount rangefinders, and Voigtlander Bessa R and L. These are most practical with wide angles, but can also be used with teles and zooms if you focus very carefully using the distance scale. There is NO rangefinder coupling. TTL flash or ambient metering will still work - if you RF body offers that feature. PICS ORDER |

Medium Format 2 1/4 Lens Adapters:
2 1/4 LENSES to 35MM or 2 1/4 BODIES -- These are precision, robust adapters that will do justice to your quality lenses and cameras. Do not confuse our adapters with poorly finished "bargain priced" adapters which often bind up -- either on the lens or the body. There are no glass elements to degrade image performance. There is no linkage between the body and the lens, which means the lens aperture must be controlled manually. Most camera bodies still allow TTL flash and ambient light metering, at stop down aperture. All allow lens focus to infinity.
