Thank you very much for sharing your experience! - great shots, I like the black & white with the 180 and 80 - with the 240 it's probably easier to focus than with my M9
Leuk om nog een Leica enthousiasteling in Vlaanderen te vinden ;) Ik kocht 2 jaar geleden mn eerste Leica. Een M3 aangezien dat het enige was wat ik me als 22-jarige kon veroorloven. Ondertussen al een hele M verzameling en ook wat R materiaal. Enkele R bodies en een Safari Summilux-R 50mm f1.4. Wil hem zeker ook eens op één van mn analoge M bodies gebruiken. Enige nadeel is dat je met analoog niet anders kan dan zone focusing te gebruiken. Zeker op 1.4 is dat dus niet erg evident. Interessante video! ;)
Really appreciate the video. The shots with the 60mm Elmarit macro look fantastic! Lots of my photos are of my dog - so maybe this is a good lens for me to look for. I've just started to collect some R lenses for my Leicaflex SL. It's great to know that in the future it is possible for me to enjoy them on an M body (or indeed an SL) with the right adaptor.
Thanks for this video. For me one of the advantages of the M lenses is the smaller size, but I have a couple of R lenses I use on my R6 which feel like the appropriate size for that camera. Have you tried your lenses on an R camera body?
In digital cinema cameras many of these lenses are being bought up. Then converted to a cine lens. F stop ring de clicked. Big gear added on the focus ring. Sometimes the modification changes the lens mount to canon eos.
Hi thanks for the review. I see your shot of the OOCL Japan. Is is shot in port of Zeebrugge? I'm working on a sister ship OOCL SCANDINAVIA. I have an SL2 and thinking of getting the 100mm macro R lense.
Images are shot in Belgium port of Zeebrugge.. I use my R Mendes on my Leica M240 and Canon D5 Mark III. Good luck and they are great Mendes. Can also check on my Instagram same name.
If you have to choose between a adapter and a 50 mm M lens i'll choose the adapter. If you have a M 50 summicron you don't. Quality is the same but the R lens is bigger and more heavy.
Hoi ik heb genoten van de mooie foto's die u na alle uitleg hebt getoond. Want ik ga ook graag in de haven nu en dan foto's trekken. Ik heb momenteel een Leica r 90 2.8 mm lens . En ik was van plan om een adapter ring te kopen om de originele bajonet Ring van Leica te vervangen . Maar ik ben niet zeker of het goed gaat werken met mijn Nikon d7000 ( Of zal ik altijd eerst manueel de f stop moeten instellen om de juiste licht metering te bekomen?? ) En weet u of er ook nog een mogelijkheid is om goedkope 2x converters daarvoor te kopen?? Dank bij voorbaat Ben
Goede morgen Ben, ik gebruik deze lenzen meestal op een canon 5D met adapter en niet zoveel op die M240 om eerlijk te zijn. Die adapter heb ik gekocht voor een 20€ denk ik en dat werk goed, het is geen high-class maar werk. Instellingen op de canon ISO naargelang de omgeving, sluitertijd op aut. En de f: op de lens naar keuze + de witbalans ook aanpassen en die lenzen werken perfect. Die 2x convector gebruik ik enkel op die 180mm en anders blijft die 60mm macro erop hou van deze lens. Een 2x convector vinden...... ja? Het internet afschuimen of 2e hands en regelmatig kijken of er aangeboden worden. Succes Mvg Rony
Yes they do, if you adapt to one digital camera this Will do nothing. In thé years thé reflex (R) camera where having more features thé lenses had to communicate with thé bodies this was all mechanical that's why. So on your digital M camera you have to work on live vieuw and on film M it's a guess.
Dank voor de interessante video, welk merk Leica R to Leica M adapter heeft u gekocht. Ik zoek er een, maar die van Leica is mij veel te duur. De R-Lenzen zijn idd ondergewaardeerd lange tijd, deels omdat ze voor een deel samen met Minolta werden ontworpen.
De adapter Is een K&F concept en idd Leica R lenzen zijn een joint venture met Minolta, het glas is Leica glas zoals de Minolta Rokkor lenzen voor het M systeem, probeer ze maar eens te bemachtigen? Mijn adapter koste me 22€ nieuw een origineel koste toen 370€......... Groetjes Rony
Could someone help me, I have a LEICA SUMMICRON R 1:2 50MM lens Fabr. No. 03840896 the f2 aperture opens only with the R8 Leica Camera in adapters it does not open, can you tell me if this is normal?
Claudio, for me i think it's thé cams on thé lens. Thé older models have only 1 cam, later models even 3 that's for aperture priority. But i don't understand why is a problem? I have a R4, R6 use them on my M240 and even on my Canon D5 ???? I prosume if it's a 1 cam that's thé problem.
@@photographycyclist thank you very much, i've ordered one of them right now, i'm asking you one last thing, i'm going to use my Summicron R 50 mm on my Leica M6, do focal lenght remains the same or does it change due to the adapter?
@@gianmarcoboncompagni on a 50mm you Will have no problems at all, only on the wide-angle lenses and you go go apature 11 of higher some vignet could be there.
@@photographycyclist the adapter is a complete disappointment because it doesn't allow me to focus on the rangefinder, if i knew that i wouldn't have bought it. the telemeter just dont work with it
Sorry don't have a opinion of the summilux 50mm lens, i do own the summicron and that's a great lens.I think ,no scatches no fungus it Will also be great.👍
The Standard lenses like 50mm f:2 or 28mm,35mm f:2.8 around 100 tot 150€ depents on condition , with of without box. The special lenses let's say 16mm Fisheye 60mm macro go for around 350€ and even the 21mm super angulon f:4 even more than 700€. Look on the net and don't decied to fast, there are good bargains.

I use the EVF and LOVE it. Totally makes shooting easy
Nice work. Appreciate the review. I am getting an R-mount vario/zoom lens to go with my M10
Me, too!

I've a wide selection of R-lenses and I use them on my M240 too. The Leica EVF was produced by Olympus. Thanks for this informative video!
Enjoy theme only downside is mayby the weight, they are more heavy 👍
How did you like shooting this way? I love the M for doc work but have been trying to find a hybrid solution WITH mechanical dials. Thx!
@@vc6218 No problem for me. I often use the 80-200/4.0 and weight is no issue.

Leica SL would be a great combination with R lenses, optical vieuwfinder......
Love this. Liked and subscribed!
Thank you for your Video
Thanks for the sincere effort to inform us about the R-lenses. Which third party R-M adapter did you use?
Thanks for the video
No problem and by the way, thank you for al your great content you made 👍
Very nice Thank you very much
My pleasure 👍
Thanks for this video. For me one of the advantages of the M lenses is the smaller size, but I have a couple of R lenses I use on my R6 which feel like the appropriate size for that camera. Have you tried your lenses on an R camera body?
I will try my one tomorrow )) I use it on sony with adapter. i sold vario-r, I like only prime
Ok, i owned 2 vario lenses a 80-200 and 35-70 sold theme. Prime is the best 👍

Is the R Cron 50mm f2 3cam worth keeping to use on M bodies? Are they worth using with the adapters on the M models long term? Thank you!

I noticed R lenses come in 1-cam, 2-cam or 3-cam. Do all these versions adapt to M bodies. What will you be missing with 1-cam over 3-cam?
Yes they do, if you adapt to one digital camera this Will do nothing. In thé years thé reflex (R) camera where having more features thé lenses had to communicate with thé bodies this was all mechanical that's why.
