Adapter Test

Fitting a Leica mount lens (fully analog) to a modern digital camera; a Sony a7 R III
I didn’t really think from the start that the combination of a FotoDiox Adapter and the Camera/Lens combination would produce anything great…

…but I was pleasantly surprised. The image quality in general is amazing, however the lens doesn’t really sit firmly in the adapter. It wobbles slightly and may cause problems with tilting. In relation to the image sensor it could therefore cause out of focus areas when shooting wide open.

I have read, that the equivalent adapter from Voigtländer is far better and machined far more accurately. So that’s what it will have to be.

Until then…current results below.
