While not 100% essential to picture-taking using your older Leica lenses, this adapter is a great way to NOT have to remember to make the necessary M-240/MM-242 in-camera adjustment when you mount a non-6-Bit lens. Perhaps more importantly, use of the adapter also means you get the EXIF data imbedded into your metadata, something most find a necessary complement to their work. Buy some flat black and flat white fingernail polish to color the code, scrape off the excess after application, mount the adapter to your LTM lens and you are ready to shoot! Although I only needed one I should have bought another for any future, unforeseen, use when I stumble upon a lens I'd like to try.

This adapter works as advertised, in that it fits nicely onto the lens and allows you to use a Minolta lens on a Leica body. What they fail to mention, however, is that the adapter changes the focusing of the lens. Focusing with the rangefinder on my Leica M8 no longer worked, and setting the distance measurement on the lens to match the distance to the subject resulted in out-of-focus shots. If you have a Leica SLR, this adapter would probably work, since you would be focusing through the lens. With a rangefinder, the workaround would be to figure out what the conversion from true distance-to-subject to distance-on-the-lens would be. Even then, you would lose the ability to finely focus (especially important with wide aperatures). Nicely made product, but for rangefinder users not a good choice.Read full review

Well made product. Allowed my Leica T camera to use M mount lenses perfectly. A fraction of the cost of the Leica brand.

This is the way it should be quality at a value. Very well machined with solid tolerance. Fits as expected.
