Canon 50mm f1.4 (Not sure if posting in right forum)

[swmlon]

Hi,

I recently came accros a Canon 50mm f1.4 which had been adapted to Leica-M mount, there were some light scratch marks on the front and the focus/aperture ring was a little tight on sale for £90. I figured I would by it since the price was quite good (better than I had seen it sell for here in shops).

I just wanted to ask a question though, when I mount the camera to my M6 I noticed that it did not bring up the 50mm framelines. Is this normal? does this have any impact (other than inconvenience of remembering i have a 50 on there instead of a 35) on other aspects like focussing.

thanks all for your help.

I guess that you had an LTM-M adapter? If so, the adapter supplied was not the correct 50mm version.... you can buy a proper one from the bay.

What was the original mount for that lens? Was it screw mount? Was it an FD lens? EF? Something else?

As hunghang said, wrong adapter.

yup, just checked the adapter and it is a voigtlander 28/90 as opposed to the 50/75 which is needed. Will hunt one down now. thanks, it was the screw mount btw
