Posted: Fri May 10, 2013 4:37 am Post subject: Contax 645 AF lenses on Leica S |
|
|
I stumbled across an online forum conversation about the likelihood of an adapter being made for Contax 645 lenses to mount on the Leica medium-format S cameras. Here's the link:
http://www.reddotforum.com/showthread.php/427-Contax-645-lenses-with-Leica-S2
Leica has lowered the entry cost for these new S versions, probably because the hi-rez Nikons and such are cutting deeply into their corner of the market. I'd think anyone with a Leica S would love to see these lenses become available for use on S cameras, tho I know how busy you are and how rigorously you must stick to one project at a time. I'm just making the link available to people here to see what happens, if anything.
Who, me? I'm saving my pennies for the NAM-1 conversion. |

We think the idea is great. However we are not able to confirm or deny anything about our future roadmap. |

Yes! And I've ordered one, which makes me very interested in adapting the Contax 645 lenses on other camera systems too.
I understand there's the converted NAM-1 / Canon to NEX option, anything else?
Thanks!
Edit: And how about a Leica S to future FF NEX adapter? |

Electronic adapters with autofocus for Contax 645 lenses are either to Leica S mount by Leica themselves, or to Canon EF mount by us. We are not aware of any other fully electronic Contax 645 adapters.
As for your other question regarding Leica S to NEX adapter, we think the idea is great. However we are not able to confirm or deny anything about our future roadmap. _________________ I am a bird and I uncovered the E, EF and N-mount communication protocols! |

Hi, it's been 1,5 year since I posted here and I thought I might let everyone know I'm still interested in an Leica S to Sony NEX/FE mount adapter. Even more so, with the new generation ~50MP sensors coming in early 2015.
Occasionally the question comes up in other fora and I thought posting a link to one such thread could be of interest to future readers in search for such an adapter:

Anyway, thanks for reading and I hope one day a Leica S to Sony E-mount adapter will materialize. |
